In 1859, Irish born Matthew Hall (1825-1914) came to Canada as a Sergeant with the Royal Engineers, a Crimean War veteran. He was discharged from the Royal Engineers in 1863 and, in 1866, settled on 160 acres of land in South Sumas (Atchelitz). In 1857 he married Harriet Hall (1823-1907), a sister to Corporal William Hall. The couple had four children.
