He was a lawyer in Penticton and I think he had an orchard as well. There were two or three more sons and I think three daughters, one of whom was my grandmother.

When I was a kid in the Okanagan Valley there was constant talk about someone named "Charlie Oliver" -- don't remember what he was famous for but everyone liked him and had a story. I wonder if he could have been a relative. This article doesn't talk about family but John Oliver had a huge influence on the Okanagan Valley. The town of Oliver BC was named after him because he was instrumental in putting in the "ditch" that turned the area from a desert into orchards and vineyards. Interesting!
