Robert and Henry Pratt were brothers who were the first settlers in central Barnhartvale, British Columbia, Canada. 'Pratt Road', a main residential access, is named after them. Robert Pratt (1870–1935) settled in Barnhartvale in 1890; in 1894 his brother (1863–1943) acquired adjoining crown land south of Robert. Robert married Helena Todd, daughter of James Todd. By the early 1900s Robert Pratt had a highly successful farm with a large apple orchard. Pratt was among the first in the Interior of British Columbia to sell apples commercially, winning a gold medal in 1911 at the International Agricultural Fair in England. ==References== * Balf, Mary, "Kamloops: A History of the District Up To 1914, Kamloops Museum Archives, Kamloops, 1969, pp. 123–127 * () N379, The Todds and Pratts of Barnhartvale * Stewart, John, Robert Pratt and Family, The Kamloops Daily News, Friday, December 18, 1987 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert and Henry Pratt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
