Rufus Judson Davis died at 1:00
o’clock Sunday morning, December 16,
in Ketchikan. With his last breath j
there passed from this earth a man,
of sterling character a man beloved
by all who knew him, and a man who
for twenty-five years had been con
nected with Alaskan activities.
Mr. Davis, who was superintendent j
of construction for the New England,

branch of the company on the Admi-!

establishing a new branch of the com
pany in the southwestern part of tne
country.
Mr. Davis was in apparent good
health up to the very end of the trip J
No matter if the ship was on its beam
ends, Mr. Davis was up and around.
A trip to Alaska was nothing new to
him, he having made over fifty such,
voyages during his lifetime.
Mr. Davis first came to Alaska tiboui'
the year 1898 when he was engaged in!
the customs brokerage business iUj
Wrangell. He later entered the em
ploy of the Pacific Cold Storage Com
pany of Tacoma in the capacity of out
, side superintendent. The company was
then engaged in supplying loods and
especially meat stuffs to the interior

Shortly after the dissolution of the
Pacific Cold Storage Co., Mr. Davis
entered the employ of the New Eng

engineer by profession and as such
superintended many construction activ

spring he came north to superintend
the construction of the new cannery

work. Just before leaving lor Alaska
Mr. Davis, Sr., was planning work to
be done at Butedale, B. C., a brauch of
the company.
I On his arrival in Ketchikan from
; the north Mr. Davis complained oi a
1 severe coid, but confidently expected
to be well in a few days. His sickness
took a rapid tuin for the worse on
Friday, however intestinal troubles
and pneumonia setting in. and he pass
ed away early Sunday morning at the
home o ' Mi. Nunan.
Mr. Davis, although he traveled al
most continuously, was a highiy hon
ored member of a number of 1 rater
nal organizations. He was a life mem
ber and Fast Master of the Tacoma
lodge No 22, F & A. M.t member ol
