CARRE, Henry


Henry Carre (1833-1918) was the Dominion Lands Surveyor who surveyed the original boundaries for the Bell Farm.

Carre was hired by the Qu'Appelle Valley Farming Company to survey the boundaries of the Bell Farm in the summer of 1882. He was previously employed in surveying various railway routes across Canada, and was among those who posed for the "Last Spike" photo on the CPR mainline in 1885.
