Biographical history

William Law Ogilby (b. 1872) was employed as a chainman on a survey of part of the western boundary of the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway Belt on Vancouver Island between 27 Mar and 8 Oct 1892. He homesteaded near Kamloops starting in 1894, and served in both the South African War and World War One.

A photograph, presumed to have been taken on the survey, depicts Ogilby and two other men at their camp at an unidentified location.
