Indigenous activists speak out on life of Gassy Jack (via CBC)

To see where Captain John "Gassy Jack" Deighton is buried refer to
http://www.nwheritage.org/heritagesite/history/content/fraser/Frasercap.htm. This will give you a virtual tour of Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster and you’ll see the gravesite in the Masonic part of the cemetery by clicking on #18.

John "Gassy Jack" Deighton worked for William Irving as a pilot and captain. Irving who is also buried in the Masonic section of the above built a fine house in New Westminster in 1865. Irving House still stands today and is open to the public. Gassy Jack must have been a visitor here many times. http://www.discovervancouver.com/articles/irving-house.asp

Hastings Mill Store managed to survive the great fire of 1886 which
obliterated the new city of Vancouver and its old centre Gastown (and
Deighton House). It was moved from its original site to the foot of Alma
Road and operates as a museum.
