‘"Arctic"' Smith |
Funeral Took |
Place Today
Services for the late John
S.“Arctic” Smith, was held
at 2 p.m. this afternoon at
the Federated church, the
Rev. Norman McCay, offic
iated. A large number of
friends and acquaintances
of the deceased attended
the last rites for the de
ceased. Following the im
pressive services at the
church, the cortege wended
its way to Belmont Point
cemetery where the casket
was placed in the receiving
vault until better weather
comes so that a grave may
be dug.
John S. Smith, was better
and more familiarly known
to all sourdoughs as “Arc
tic” Smith, a name which
was given him due to the
fact that he not only held
a number of claims on Arc
tic creek, but when all oth
ers deserted the creek he
was one of the few to re
main with it for all these
years.
Mr. Smith was born in
Union county, Indiana,May
8th, 1858, and was in his
78th year at time of death.
He went to the Klondike
stampede arriving at Daw
son where he spent two
years prospecting on the
creeks in that section.
Hearing of the gold stam
pede to Nome he joined the
gold rush of 1900 and has
been mining and prospect
ing on Arctic Creek prac
tically ever since. Two
years ago he made a trip to
the S ates where he spent
the winter visiting his sons j
and daughters.
He returned to Nome in
the spring and immediately ,
went to Arctic creek,where:
he died in bed in peace-!
ful slumber about Jan. 11,
death evidently being due1
to old age. He is survived
by two daughters and two
sons in the State of Indiana
and his daughter, Kathe
rine, wife of Louis Erick
son, of Nome.
