Biographical history
James Murray Yale was the Hudson's Bay Company Chief Trader at Fort Langley. Yale was born near Lachine, Quebec in 1798. At the age of sixteen, he entered
the service of the Hudson’s Bay Company [HBC] as clerk. Yale came west to Fort Wedderburn in Athabaska country with John Clarke in 1815. In 1821, he was put in charge of Fort George, New Caledonia, and seven years later began over thirty years of service at Fort Langley. In 1859, Yale was granted a year’s furlough, after which he retired in Victoria, where he died at his home, Stromness, West Saanich, on May 7, 1871.
