    Biographical history

    James Madison Bohanon came to the Cariboo region of B.C. in 1859 to pursue gold mining activities. He became involved in various business endeavours, including Bohanon, Shaw and Company, and made a living in ranching and mixed farming. The company owned a large portion of land in the Kersley area. Bohanon died ca. 1874 and his brother, Samuel Hall Bohanon, took over the ranch and a substantial portion of the company's land. Bohanon and his wife Ellen later moved to Quesnel. Bohanon's great grand nieces, Josephine and Flora Guy, moved to Quesnel in 1922. In 1925, Flora Guy married Clarence Melville Fuller, originally from Vernon, B.C., who was involved in mining and fur trading and who had served in the air force in World War I. The Fullers remained in Quesnel for the rest of their lives.
