WILLIAM (Billy) BARKER
A simple English sailor with the luck of the Irish.
The Barker Claim was staggeringly RICH.
But Billy blew the money "High Wide & Handsome" and in a few short years.
Nuggets gone, he was found cooking for a road crew, building the New wagon road into
Barkerville from Quesnelle Mouth, now "Quesnel".
He died of lip Cancer in the Old Men's Home in Victoria in 1894. He was laid to rest in an unmarked pauper's Grave. He was 77.

Many years later his Head Stone was laid by
an original pioneer of Barkerville....
