James Settee at Beaver Creek
Posted: Sun May 29, 2016 7:17 pm
The website on James Settee is incorrect regarding his time in Beaver Creek. It states " In 1843 SETTEE was sent to The Pas, and after two years there (1846) he was sent by HUNTER to Lac la Ronge." This is incorrect, James Settee was still serving at Beaver Creek at least through May, 1845. I have a letter written by him to Rev. John Smithhurst in which he provides considerable detail regarding his activities at that location. Settee does despair regarding the lack of native students to teach no doubt precipitating his departure later on in 1845 but the website is wrong by two years.
