Gavin Feodomant
Role: Miner
Date of death: 05 Oct 1888
Cause of death: Killed by a fall of rock
Gavin Feodomant (or Feodomard) was a late 19th century miner, who worked at the no. 1 mine back when Cumberland was known as Union. He was killed at work when he was struck by falling rocks, an unfortunately common hazard in the mines. Before the establishment of the Cumberland cemetery, miners were often buried in Nanaimo, as may have been the case with Gavin.
