Louis Thomas Rader, longtime trapper in the Canadian north, passed away July 31 in a Vancouver hospital. He trapped extensively in the MacKenzie and Liard districts, and then worked his way down into the Yukon via the Nahanni (Headless) River valley in the early 1940's. In later years he took over the management of the Taylor and Drury trading posts at Pelly Banks and then at Pelly Lakes until they closed down due to a decline to trapping activity and lack of furs. Prior to leaving the Yukon several years ago, he worked as caretaker for Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Company's operation , at Quill Creek.� [Nov1967]
