<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">They are indeed cattle brands from the various ranches in the area. Each brand is from a different family who historically ranched in Oliver. The artwork was created by local artist
Leo Holcombe, who did quite a bit of work in the 1980s for the Heritage Society. You can see many of Mr. Holcombe’s pieces around the museum and inside the Fairview Jail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I think they might be cattle or horse (ranch) brands. I saw similar types of symbols burned into the pillars of a Merritt BC pub&grill and my brother in-law explained that they were local area brands,
some of which are still used.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
