"My late grandfather, William Heavenor (born June 1922) always spoke of his one-armed uncle Jim, a WW1 veteran, who had moved to the area of Pitt Island after the Great War. When the Dominion Survey team (1949?) had boat trouble he put his vessel at their service; in return for carting them around, some of the features of the area were named for Jim... As the result of a family disagreement, the uncle had altered the spelling of his last name (July 2002 advice from Bill Heavenor, Mission, BC). [no explanation for discrepancy in arrival dates; perhaps an able-bodied James/Jim Hevenor/Heavenor logged on Pitt Island c1910, lost his arm during the Great War then RETURNED to his Pitt Island camp as a disabled veteran....(?)].
