History
Thomas Lindsay (T.L.) Thacker was an early settler and pioneer who lived in the area of Hope, British Columbia during the early 20th century. Born in 1878 in the United Kingdom, he married Beatrice Muriel May Sprague in 1908 and the couple started a homestead near Hope, on Little Mountain. Both were keenly interested in wildlife and were considered naturalists of the area, as they frequently travelled backroads to collect bird and other animal specimens. The Thackers were also involved in local archaeological projects near Hope, although the full extent of their engagement with archaeology is relatively unknown. In his later years, Thacker worked selling insurance and real estate in addition to accounting. He passed away at the age of 82 in Agassiz on March 21, 1961.
