KANTISHNA OLDTIMER ENDS
LIFE TO ESCAPE FREEZING
Albert Maurice, a pioneer resi
dent of Alaska and an oldtimer of
the Kantishna district, took his life
recently in that district to escape
death by freezing. His body was
found later by a chance visitor and.
after investigation by Commissioner
Ed Brooker, was sent to Xenana
for burial, with a request that the
Pioneers officiate at the funeral
service. In accordance with this re
quest, the funeral will be held to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock at
the Bergman undertaking parlors
I on Market street, under the aus
pices of the local igloo of Pioneers.
I The deceased was a charter member
of the Fairbanks igloo but was
many years in arrears in his dues
at the time of his death.
According to the information re
ceived by President R. C. Morris,
of Xenana Igloo, the oldtimer had
! a severe attack of rheumatism and
j finally became bedridden. Realiz
I ing that he would freeze to death
I in his lonely cabin unless help ar
| rived, he wrote a note explaining
i his condition and plans, and then
| tied a string to the trigger of his
gun and shot himself through the
heart. When the body was found,
there was a plentiful supply of wood
j close to the door of the cabin, in
> dicating that Maurice was too badly
'crippled to get to it to keep his
I fire going.
