History

DONOR INDICATES THAT THE CUP COULD POSSIBLY BE A COMMUNION CUP GIVEN TO HER FATHER, REV. G.G. NAKAYAMA, WHILE LIVING IN VANCOUVER IN THE 1920'S. OTHER RESEARCH INDICATES IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A BUDDHIST CEREMONIAL CUP. NAKAYAMA AND HIS FAMILY MOVED TO COALDALE IN 1945 AFTER BEING RELOCATED FROM VANCOUVER IN 1942 TO SLOCAN CITY IN THE INTERIOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. AT COALDALE HE FOUNDED THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION WHERE HE WAS RECTOR FROM 1945 TO 1970.
