Myra Creek and Falls were named in August 1910 after Myra Ellison, daughter of the Hon. Price Ellison, Minister of Finance & Agriculture in the McBride government, and who accompanied her father as a member of the government expedition to the area at that time. [the previous year, when this expedition would likely have been planned, Mr. Ellison had been Chief Commissioner of Lands; the 1910 expedition and surveys resulted in establishment of Strathcona Provincial Park the following year.] Myra Ellison later married Mr. Howard DeBeck.

"So on the 3rd day after our arrival on Buttle Lake, we set out for the other end of the lake, a matter of 20 miles. We went immediately to the falls on the lovely stream that we found there, and Mr. Ellison named both the creek and the falls, Myra Creek and Myra Falls, in honour of his guest..."

Holmes, BCLS, 1910). [note that Mr. Ellison's "guest" was his daughter, Myra.]
