Alma Keene, Old-Time
Nome Resident Passes
Away In Seattle
Alma Keene, well known Nome
resident, who has lived part of
every year in the Territory since
she crossed the Chilkoot Pass with
her husband back in ’98, passed
away Monday in Seattle. She had
been in a nursing home there
since leaving Nome for the last
time several weeks ago.
Mrs. Keene operated a tailoring
and cleaning shop on Front Street
for many years while her hus
band, who died many years ago,
was in the transfer business. She
owns considerable mining pro
perty in the Nome area as well
as real estate.
Her home, near Steadman Ave.,
known as the Fink residence, was
one of the show places of the early
days, and is one of the few re
maining buildings which is intact
in its original condition and fur
nishings.
A nephew is the only known
relative who survives her.
Burial was announced for today.

Now Set Up and Operating
The merry-go-round on the
playfield is going ’round and
’round today with a long line of
children waiting for their chance
to try out this long-awaited plea

The equipment was purchased
last year by the Home Arts Club
and lost on the Square Knot when
it caught fire at sea. By the time
it was replaced it was too late for
installation.
This spring the women’s club
had difficulty finding labor for
the installation, sa the Rotary
Club took over and through Bill
Gillis now have it in operation.

Carothers To Again Fly
Xmas Reindeer To Texas
Grady Carothers, Santa’s helper 4
1 from Texas, arrived by Pan Am
erican on his annual trip to Nome
to obtain a supply of live reindeer
I to be used during the holiday sea
son in the States.
Last year these deer were ob
tained from the Kotzebue herd and
shipped to the States by air. Al
though Santa’s deer can fly
through the air on their own pow
er on Christmas Eve directly from
the North Pole, Mr. Carother’s
project out of Texas saves Santa
considerable time by having fresh
deer on hand ’way down in Texas.
