Harry Healy 
	
In the early 1900s, Harry Healy and Charles Straum trapped at Campbell River, about 290 miles above Old Rampart House in Alaska. They had a little cabin and store in the community.((Richard Martin as told to Bill Pfisterer, //K'aiiroondak: Behind the Willows.// Fairbanks: University of Fairbanks, 1993: 174-175, 184-86.)) About 1916, the Northern Commercial Co. had a store and a freight boat they used to get supplies from Fort Yukon. The boat caught on fire and was abandoned. Healy, Strom, and Joe Netro took over the store and hauled freight with their launch.((“Recollections: Old Crow Elders Tell of Change in the Community.” An oral history project by the students of Te’sek Gehtr’oonatun Zzeh. Spring 1997: 36-37.)) They eventually had fur trading posts in Rampart House, Old Rampart, and Old Crow in the Yukon. They hauled about ten to twelve tons at a time and made lots of trips.((Richard Martin as told to Bill Pfisterer, //K'aiiroondak: Behind the Willows.// Fairbanks: University of Fairbanks, 1993: 174-175, 184-86.)) 

Everyone would get together at Harry Healy's house and listen to the Carter family and other music.((“Recollections: Old Crow Elders Tell of Change in the Community.” An oral history project by the students of Te’sek Gehtr’oonatun Zzeh. Spring 1997: 36-37.)) Clara Frost remembered Healy coming to Old Crow to sell flour, fresh fruit and oats.((Story by Clara Frost for “1995 Calendar and Brief History of Our Elders.” Compiled by the students of Te’sek Gehtr’oonatun Zzeh Campus, Old Crow, Yukon.)) Harry Healy was staying at Old Rampart House when he disappeared. Everything he owned was there but he was gone and Richard Martin thought he might have gone through the ice when he went to get water.((Richard Martin as told to Bill Pfisterer, //K'aiiroondak: Behind the Willows.// Fairbanks: University of Fairbanks, 1993: 174-175, 184-86.))
