! JESSE LEE HOME TN UNALASKA IS GNE OF THE
PIONEER INSTITUTIONS OF ALASKA; 35 YEARS OLD
UNALASKA, Mar. 20—To think of
Unalaska is to at once remember the
philanthropical institution there known
as the Jesse Lee Home. At present
there are at the Home twenty-six boys
and ioily three girls, of ages varying
from a few months to eighteen years
The Home was brought into cxis_
tence ,nme thirty-five years ago, when
thiity-.-'x girls were collected here by
Rev. and Mrs. luck missiona teach
ers sent out *o Unalaska by the Bu
reau of Education. The child: rn
were cared f< r in a small dwelling
house. The -,j *s of these t wev.*
presented to the bureau and 1) various
church orgumVd'ons in such a way
that the Womans Home Missionary
Society of Rutland, Vermont, sent out
to a sist in the \v< rk, Miss Agnes Soul
a graduate from a missionary training
school, a woman of remarkable person
ality whose influence is still felt in the
institution th* i gh she has some ycats
passed on to her reward.
After a sen ice of three years Miss
Soul returned to the states, and came
back as Mrs. V.\ H. Newhall and re
sumed the \ t -k in this excellent!'
commendable pie' msynary institution.
It was about this time that the
buildings were increased in number,
the work being fostered by the W. H.
M. S. of Rutland, Vermont, by whom
the Mission was named the Jesse Lee
Home, in honor of the Peter Cart
wright of New England.
Jesse Lee was born in Prince George
County, Virginia, 1758. He was a man
cf vigor and intense religious convic
tions which he spread ovei the country
between the Connelticut river and the
St. Johns. He organized the first
Methodist class in Stratford, Ct., and j
also the first class in the City of
Beans. It was altogether mete that the
mission should bear the name of this j
pioneer of the Methodist church, but |
rs an ironical commentary it may be
mentioned that the Rutland branch of:
the chu '-h has no present knowledge
of the existence of the Jesse Lee
Home.
W. H. Newhall is a Medico-mission
ary and has been in charge of the Mis
sion during almost the whole time of
its existence as the Superintendent.
The Doctor has been relieved for a
! year at a time by Spense, Clapper and
Winchel! (initials unknown) while he
was away with his family outside.
The Mission has for its purpose the
i care of ndigent children. These are
orphans, and half orphans ,and child
ren flagrantly neglected. The girls
i are taught all of the homely duties of
the housewife. The boys present a
more difficult problem as the Mission
is not yet equipped with the material
or the teachers for manual training,
nor is there available area for agricul
tural developments. It would be a
blessing to the Mission if some philan
thropic man or woman, who wishes to
lay up riches in heaven, would make
judicious outlay of riches on earth
that these boys might be given the op
jportunity to learn some trade which
i would supplement the occupations of
fishing, hunting and following the sea.
“Comparisons are odious,” and so
are descriptions. Those who have
seen the mountains of the Alaskan
coast rising in bold effrontry from the
ocean, to stand in silent grandeur, a
granite wall protecting the inland
from the terrific onslaughts of the
j wrath of the sea, will not need to be
I told of the surroundings which exist at
; this spot in the Aleutian islands where
! is located the Jesse Lee Home. Back
of the Mission is a fair sized stream
up which the salmon come during the
spawning season, and in which at the
headwaters are trout of various kinds j
awaiting the skill of the angler. Cod ‘
banks are not far distant, and ptarmi- j
gan may be found within easy walking j
distance.
Many teachers have come and gone
from the Mission. A few have become
| identified with the work. Among these
i are Miss Emma Supernau who for 18
years was identified with the Mission,
and who became the wife of Dr. New
hall following the demise of his faith
ful assstant who gave her life that the
work might succeed. Miss Cook (Mrs.
Lawrence), South Bend, Ind., who was
seven years in the Mission. Miss Win
ched who for twelve years was identi
fied wth the work, and who but last
year went back to the outside to recup
erate from this life sapping work. Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis, who were here but
three vigorous years. He retired after
the death of his wife. Miss Smith who
has been with the Mission for five
years and still identified with the spir
it of the institution.
The success of the Mission from out
side cources is largely due to the per
sonal influence of Mrs. Parsons, Se
attle, who for years, without renumer
ation, devoted her whole energies to
ward the success of the Jesse Lee
Home. After the death of her hus
band she was obliged to give up the
work, and it is now done by a commit
tee of five.
All of the people who are resident j
in Unalaska are intensely interested
in the success of the Mission, but ac
tive aid has most emphatically been ex
pressed by Mrs. A. C. Goss who has
given time ,money and energy to the j
success of this missionary activity.
That something may be known of j
the benefits conferred by the activities
of the Mission even under the handi
caps which exist we may mention P.
Gould, who is now in the states pre
paring to become a Medical Mission
ary. Simeon Oliver, pipe organist in ;
one of the churches in Evanston, 111., |
who is taking a course in music in the
Northwestern University. Eliza Gould
who, a widow with five children, is in
Portland, Oregon, and successful in
business. Mary Neilson, stenographer
in Tacoma; Jennie Alexander, a full
Eskimo, brought here from the north
by a whaler, who is a graduate from
a nurses training school, and is pre
pared to do excellent work in her line.
Katie Kosenburg, who is with Mr. S.
nplegate, taking a college course at
Berkely, California, and specializing in
Bible history. Others could be added.
Among those who were at one time
inmates of the Home and later assit
ed in maintaining its efficient organi
zation are Paul Morton, Sarah Mor-1
ton, Annie and Helen Swenson, Amel
ia and Annie Peterson, Eliza Gould,
Peter Hatch and Theodore Nutbeam.
The present staff comprises Rever
end J. C. Dorwin and wife, Tacoma,
Superintendent and Assistant, Miss
Olive Smith, Boys’ Matron and Miss
Ida Young, assistant; Miss Emily Mor
gan, Red Cross nurse and Girls’ ma.
tron, protem; Mrs. Ethel Robbins, as
sistant matron for the girls; Miss Es
tella McMillan, instructor in culinary
arts. I
