Sam Taggart Is In
Receipt of Newsy
Items Fred Hanks
Sam Taggart of the Nome Lumber
Company is in receipt of an unusual
ly interesting letter from Fred O.
Hanks in answer to a letter sent
by Mr. Taggart some time ago. He
say,;: "The bunch of Nome papers
just arrived and it is needless for
me to tell you how I enjoyed them.
1 was so pleased to think Nome still
has a daily paper and that my old
friend George Maynard is still run
ning it. I read the editorials, ads,
and everything. The first thing my
eyes fell on was the notice for band
practice—Can you beat it? I am
sending this bunch of papers to Rex
Beach. I know he will get a kick
out of them. Rex intends visiting
Alaska sometime during the month
of July or August. Don't know il
he will get to Nome or not. Many
thanks, old pal for sending the pa
pers, and do it again.”
All old timers will remember Fred
Hanks. Although a mining man. he
was never too busy to give his time
and talents for any worthy cause,
whether social or civic, and when
Fred undertook the management of
affairs, its success was assured. As
a musician and entertainer Fred
ranked with the professionals, and
the Nome band which he directed
was his chief hobby. Mr. Hanks
is now associated with the Acme
Burlap Bog Company, at Adams and
Plymouth Streets, Brooklyn. N. Y.
The "Rex'’ mentioned in the letter
is Rex Beach the noted author of

A. J. .McConnell Dead
Mr. Taggart is also in receipt of
the sad news of the passing of A.
J. McConnell recently in Florida.
Mr. McConnell was manager of the
Nome Light and Power Company,
for many years preceding his de
parture from Nome. He was a pub
lic spirited citizen, always willing
to do his part in keeping Nome to
the front. He left Nome about 1914
going to Cordova where he acquir
ed the controlling interest in the
light and power plant at that place.
Joe and Vesta Sheldon Are Now
Grandparents
Nome Sourdoughs will remember
Jane Sheldon, daughter of Joe and
Vesta Sheldon, who was born in
Nome in 1915. The news has just
been received that “little" Jane as
she was affectionally known by all.
who knew her, became the proud
mother of a seven pound boy July 1. j
It is pleasing to report that both
Jane and the young son are doing
nicely. This event placed Joe and
Vesta in the “Silver Gray Grand
parent Division,” but we pioneers
remember when they started life’s
journey together, when they were
leaders in society and business, and
most popular with all. Joe was
associated with the Alaska Bank &
Safe Deposit Co., which was later
absorbed by the Miners and Mer
chants Bank of Nome in 1916. The
Sheldons’ now live in Pasadena,
California, where Joe and his broth
