Title: of creation: 1862 1985 Physical description: 0.86 m of textual records, ca. 2350 photographs, and other material Biographical sketch: Mark Sweeten Wade was born November 23, 1858 at Sunderland, County Durham, England, the son of John Wade and Mary Sweeten. He studied medicine at Durham University and Anderson s College, Glasgow. Wade moved to the United States in 1881 and enrolled at the Medical College of Fort Wayne, Indiana, earning his MD a year later. After graduating, he found work with the Canadian Pacific Survey, joining a survey party crossing several prairie towns from Fort Garry to Moose Jaw. In 1883 Wade moved to British Columbia and practiced medicine in New Westminster. The following year he was hired by Andrew Onderdonk as an assistant surgeon with the Canadian Pacific Railway. While working at Savona s Ferry he met Emma Malvina Uren, daughter of the local hotel and ferry operator, James Bottrell Uren. They married in 1885 and within a year moved to Clinton where Wade established a private medical practice. After four years in Clinton, Wade decided to continue his medical education, enrolling at the University of California, San Francisco, where he specialized in ear, nose, and throat medicine. Following his studies Wade returned to British Columbia and opened medical practices in Victoria (1889-1895) and Kamloops (1895-1904). During an outbreak of smallpox that hit Victoria in 1892 Wade played an instrumental role combating the epidemic and was subsequently appointed provincial Medical Health Officer. After moving to Kamloops in 1895, Wade s interest in writing and editing started to form a larger part of his professional activities. He produced numerous articles for The Inland Sentinel and was eventually appointed editor of the newspaper in 1898. In 1904 Wade purchased the newspaper from then owner F.J. Deane. Under Wade s management The Inland Sentinel expanded its coverage of world news and increased its weekly edition to eight pages. In 1907 he authored his first book, The Thompson Country, which was published through the Inland Sentinel Press. He worked for a period as a physician at the Provincial Home for Men and the Kamloops jail, and was appointed Indian medical officer and city coroner for Kamloops. In addition, Wade was also elected president of the 3
Inland Board of Trade, the Kamloops District Liberal Association, and the local historical association. He eventually sold The Inland Sentinel in 1912 and the following year entered municipal politics, serving a term as city alderman. Just before the outbreak of the First World War, Wade and his wife toured Europe and North Africa. During WWI he served on the medical board for the examination of recruits and spent time working at the Tranquille Sanatorium providing medical assistance to soldiers returning home with shellshock and various effects of the war. The patients he saw at Tranquille led him to conduct further studies into the permanent effects of shellshock on the auditory and optic nerves. This research was later submitted to the University of Toronto s faculty of medicine which resulted in Wade being granted a doctor of medicine degree (1922). In his later years Wade served as the Kamloops police magistrate (1917-1929) while also devoting more of his time to writing and lecturing. Throughout the 1920s he published numerous articles in newspapers and periodicals and was a much sought after public speaker by groups in Kamloops and across the province. In his final years, Wade authored Mackenzie of Canada (1927), an acclaimed biography of explorer Alexander Mackenzie, which was published by William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh. He also authored The Overlanders of 62 (1932) and The Cariboo Road (1979), two works published posthumously that are devoted to British Columbia s provincial history. Wade and his wife Emma raised two children, Mark Leighton (1889-1991) and Daryl Fred (1892-1920). Mark Sweeten Wade died on April 19, 1929 at Kamloops. Emma Malvina Wade (neé Uren) was born 28 May 1867 at Victoria, the daughter of British Columbia pioneer James Bottrell Uren. She was raised in Savona, B.C., where her father operated the local hotel and ferry. It was also at Savona where she met husband M.S. Wade who was working in the area for the C.P.R.. The couple was married at Victoria in 1885 and together they raised two sons, Mark Leighton and Daryl Fred. Emma moved to Kamloops with her family in 1895 and resided there for the following fifty years. She died on November 22, 1945 at Kamloops. Mark Leighton Wade was born September 22, 1889 at San Francisco, California, the son of Mark Sweeten Wade and Emma Malvina Uren. M.L. Wade was raised in Kamloops, British Columbia, where his father was a physician, historian, magistrate, and editor of The Inland Sentinel. He attended high school in Kamloops and after graduating went on to study engineering at McGill University, where he earned his BSc in 1912. Two years later, Wade married Ethel Lulu Cameron of Regina, Saskatchewan. He worked at Canadian Westinghouse designing and erecting machinery until 1923 when he was appointed General Superintendant with the Fernie-based East Kootenay Power Company (1923-1930). During his seven years with the company Wade supervised a number of major electrical projects including the construction of power plants on Elko and Bull River. In 1930 he moved back to Kamloops where he was placed in charge of constructing a dam at Adams River 4
for the West Kootenay Power Company. When the Great Depression led to the project s cancellation, Wade decided to open his own private practice as a consulting engineer. Among Wade s many accomplishments during his three decades as a consulting engineer are the design and installation of numerous irrigation systems for local ranchers; designing and engineering the town plan for Valleyview, the Salmon Arm municipal water system, the North Kamloops water and sewer systems, the City of Kamloops water reservoirs, and the Chase municipal water system; and finally in 1960, redesigning and engineering a series of upgrades to the Kamloops city sewer system. Following his retirement in 1963, Wade devoted more of his time to community service and volunteer activities, helping to establish the Marion Hilliard Home for unwed mothers in 1965 and serving on the Cariboo Home Society board from 1965 to 1979. In 1974 he was named Kamloops Citizen of the Year in recognition of his dedicated service at the Royal Inland Hospital, the Overlanders Extended Care Hospital, and his many visits to shut-ins. In 1979 he was also named an Honorary Lay Canon of the Anglican Church. He and wife Ethel Lulu raised two sons, Garth (b. 1916) and Gordon Fred (b. 1917). Mark Leighton Wade died April 1, 1991 in Kamloops at the age of 102. Custodial history: The records that comprise accession 1987.040 were acquired by the Kamloops Museum and Archives from M.L. Wade s son Gordon Wade on 12 May 1987. The records were previously held by M.L. Wade at his Crescent Drive home in Kamloops. At the time the records were acquired by the KMA, M.L. Wade was close to 100 years old and in the process of moving out of his home and into an extended care facility within the city. Accession 1989.074 was acquired by the KMA from Tom Sawatsky on November 15, 1989. Sawatsky obtained the records in this accession by purchasing them from the Wade family on behalf of the KMA, likely around the time M.L. Wade moved out of his Kamloops home in the summer of 1987. The photographs that comprise accession 2012.001 were donated to the KMA by Jodi Schulz on October 12, 2012. The photographs were salvaged from the Kamloops garbage dump by an unknown individual who then sold them to an antique dealer in Prince George who subsequently sold them to Jodi Schultz. 5
