Violet McGundy

Violet McGundy was a young girl during the Klondike gold rush and remembers the first stampeders arriving in the Yukon. Her husband, Old McGundy, died in 1925 in a flu epidemic that also took Violet’s mother and father. Her oldest boy, Taylor McGundy was born in 1908. Violet raised her own four children and many more. She hunted and trapped, and also worked with Mary Luke at her fish camp at Carmacks.¹⁾ Mary Luke ran her fish camp for forty or fifty years and many people came to visit. Taylor McGundy and Mary Luke had a muskrat camp not far from Carmacks and they lived at 18 Mile, just before Carmacks.²⁾
