History
Herman Otto Bowe established the Alkali Lake Ranch near Williams Lake, British Columbia in the 1860s. Bowe and his partner John Koster, married local First Nations women and the families operated the ranch for several years. The Kirkpatrick family worked on the ranch for several years and intermarried with the Bowe family. They sold the ranch in 1909 to C. N. Wynn Johnson. James D. Kirkpatrick, 1867-1933, moved to Vancouver about 1903, to Redcliff, Alberta in 1917, and finally to Calgary in 1923. He and his wife had eleven children including Samuel T., 1914-1979.
