W. J. Rowe
Died of Heart
Attack Toda\
J
The death of W. J Rowe, ole
timer, and pioneer transfer mar
of Nome, at 8 A. M. today at his
home, came as a distinct shod
to his many friends in Nome.
Death was caused by hear
failure. Following Mr. Rowe:
completion of the transfer of thi
dredge from Solomon to Nuggei
Gulch for Clyde White, Mr. Rowe
suffered a partial stroke of para
lysis from which he has nevei
recovered.
While able to be about town
and in many ways somewhat im
proved, Mr. Rowe has never beer
able to work since then. Heart
felt sympathy goes out to Mrs
W. J. Rowe, in her bereavemeni
at the death of her husband.
Mr. Rowe, who is survived b>
his widow here, and a married
daughter, Margaret, in Seattle
was one of the first large trans
fer and hauling concerns in
Nome in the early days and tc
him goes the credit for some oi
the largest hauling jobs of tha1
time.
Funeral arrangements will be
under the auspices of the Mason
ic Lodge June 11th. It is
believed Mr. Rowe has been a
member of the Masonic order,
the Moose, Pioneers of Alaska,
and Eagles.
FUNERAL NOTICE
MASONS will meet at the Lod
ge Room at 1. P. M. Thursday,
June 11th, to attend the funeral
of our Brother William James
Rowe.

They discovered Mr. Kurth

take care of himself. They im
mediately arranged to take him
to the hospital, which was done,'
and he survived only until short

old-time pioneers who first came
to Nome and Candle Creek in
the early gold rush days. While
