William Geary (d. 1914)
William Geary spent time at Livingstone as a hunter. Around 1910, he and Joseph Crandle Brewer obtained a grubstake in Whitehorse and established a mink farm at 100 Mile Creek. They were very successful and by 1914 had between 300 and 400 animals. Geary became ill with a self-diagnosed prostrate infection and killed himself. He is buried at the site. His partner had been blinded in one eye. The mink farm deteriorated and last operated in 1915-16.1) In early October 1920, the sternwheeler Thistle landed in Whitehorse with five crates containing thirteen foxes, from 100-Mile landing. These were from the ranch owned by W. A. Puckett, Bill Geary, and George Enderby. The foxes were destined for the Eisenhauer ranch, lately acquired by J. Geary.2)
