DEATH OF J. S. STANGROOM
It is with extreme regret that
we chronicle the passing of J. S.
Stangroom, cashier otf Nome’s
Miners and Merchants Bank for
many years. Death visited our
esteemed fellow townsman while
he was engaged in the sport he
loved so well, hunting and fish
ing with a group of friends.
His party travelled late Satur
day by dog team, to Jim Keenan’s
Hastings camp. where after a
short rest and breakfast they
scattered to the hunting grounds.
It was here in the midst of dis
coursing on a subject ckse to his
heart, big game hunting, that
Jack's spirit quietly and peace
fully slipped away.
J S. Stangroom was born in
1889 at San Francisco, California,
and spent the days of his early
youth and young manhood in the
Pacific Coast States. It is inter
esting to note that J. S. Stan
gr om was taken to Alaska as a
young b y by his father, a mining
eng neer, who spent some time
inspecting mining properties in
Southeastern Alaska.
Mr. Stangroom returned to Al
aska in 1918, spending several
seasons mining on American river

near Teller. In 1921-*23 he was
connected with the W. J. Rowe
Transfer Co., as office manage!',
beginning his long association
with the mercantile life of Nome/
of which he becaime so important
| a factor. In 1924 Mr. Stangroom:
:became associated with the Nome,
Mines Corporation and in 1925
| joined the staff of the Miners and
i Merchants Bank as cashier, re
I .
taming that position up to the'
! time of his death.
I During these 12 years of inti-,
mate association with the busi-i
! ness and social life of his ccim^
munity. Jack Stangroom won and
held the respect and esteem of
the entire city. A man of simple
! tastes and habits, quiet and self
: contained, he possessed to a high
degree the qualities of compan
ionship and friendliness, together
with a broad tollerance for the
views of others, and an unswerv
I ing belief in personal integrity1
:and faiir dealing. It will be a
difficult thing to replace Jack
Stangroom in the life and in the
hearts of our community.
Mr. Stangroom leaves an im
mediate family consisting of his
. wife, who has resided in Nome
{since 1921, their only son. Stuart,
and a grand daughter, Eileen,'
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart
Stangroom.
The bereaved family has the
deep sympathy of the entire c m-'
munity in their hour of sorrow. 1
Funeral services were held to
day at 2 P. M. at the Federated
church. Rev. Vincent Widney. of-'
