W. W. Pendergraft, one of the
most widely known oldtimers in In
terior Alaska, and a pioneer busi
nessman of Fairbanks, passed over
the great divide at 4:15 yesterday
afternoon, following: an illness with
which he had been troubled more
or less for a number of years. The
immediate cause of his death, which
was not unexpected, was an over
dose of morphine which he had tak
en earlier in the day to relieve his
pain. When his condition became
known and a doctor reached him.
he was in a comatose state, from
which he never entirely rallied. He
continued to sing steadily until the
end came.
The deceased came North in the
fall of 1897 and was for a time
■variously occupied in Dyea, coming
to Fairbanks in 1905 and opening
in the cigar and canfectionery busi
ness under the firm name of Pender
graft & Aldrich, afterwards becom
ing sole owner of the business, later
conducted under the name of the
Imperial Cigar Store.
“Pendy", as the deceased was best
known among his acquaintances,
had a host of friends who deeply
regret his death. He was born in
the state of Missouri and was 59
years old at the time of his death.
Tom Carr and Lewis Larson mush
ed in recently from the Circle Hot
Springs, where they had been taking
the water cure. The men are loud
in their praise of the way in which
the resort is conducted and of the
curative properties of the wattr
which, they claim, has ‘‘mule” beat
an Alaska mile. Larson remained
at Chatanika, where he has business
interests, and Carr arrived in town
on the last train from the creeks.
