Born the second son of Allan and Catherine (McDonald)McMartin in the Glengarry region of Ontario, Angus followed his brothers first into timbering and then, mining. Unlike his younger brothers Duncan and John who had early success in Timmins and Cobalt, with silver holdings, and in Hollinger with gold mining, Angus was not always fortunate in his mining site choices. Yet, he kept moving west in search of the next "big strike," eventually settling in British Columbia. He died in 1924,at age 67. His wife and children survived him, living in Enderby, British Columbia.He was a true Canadian pioneer.
