Photo of a group of men and two women standing outside the Landeau Hotel in Comaplix, BC around 1914. The hotel has a Ladies Entrance and is a simple building. Freda Evans is standing in the front row and wearing a long dress ran the hostel with her husband Russell. She was travelling on the Empress of Ireland, but did not survive the sinking.

"Of the many places that victims of the #EmpressofIreland disaster came from, one of the most obscure was Comaplix, a sawmill town in BC," writes Greg Nesteroff. "Freda Evans, 27 ran the Lardeau Hotel with her husband Russell."
