Chinese Heritage: Muriel Alida Mearns

Muriel Alida Mearns: Both Brockton Point and Deadmans Island are filled with unmarked graves, some from the Squamish and Musqueam people, and others from immigrants of European and Chinese heritage. Victims of a smallpox outbreak in 1888 were also buried on Deadmans Island. One sad gravestone found in brush in 1945 and kept today in the Museum of Vancouver marked the grave of 8-month-old Muriel Alida Mearns, who died in 1892.
