He did take out considerable gold ... about 15K's worth. His passion was the peace river and he was a trader on the upper Peace and then Traded out of Fort Vermilion from the 1860's up until his death in 1900. He is buried overlooking the Peace river near the city of Peace River. He was born Henry Fuller Davis in Vermont in 1818.

Thanks for that. I recall seeing something about him while passing through Peace River in the past.
