Among the people Tyrrell met on the north shore were Simon and Sophie Fraser. Simon was the son of Colin Fraser, a Scotsman who was the official piper of Hudson's Bay Company at fort Edmonton. The Frasers came to the lake in 1879. Their oldest daughter, Sarah, then 7 years old, remembered the Hudson's Bay post as well as the mission buildings and the church on top of the hill. "Hudson Bay bought fish at the place which is now called Fisher Home in a log building. The Hudson Bay hauled the fish by dog team to the Hudson Bay post in Edmonton."
