August 19,1862-My mother has just died exactly one day after my father. We buried them in the same grave. Hope they're watching me - his kid

[Simon Fraser @NotSimonFraser]

Farewell world! I had a blast. It was amazing being one of the last survivors of the Nor'westers!

[Simon Fraser @NotSimonFraser]

I hope people name some things after me when I die #winkwink

[Simon Fraser @NotSimonFraser]

So proud of my five sons and three daughters....wish I could live to meet see my grandchildren :(

#DidYouKnow I was the first man to follow the Fraser River from its source in the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

We can only afford one grave.... Hopefully Catherine can afford to buy something after I'm gone. #broke

Catherine is coming down with the same thing as me. Our eldest child has been taking care of us.
