STROKE IS FATAL
TO GEORGE MARCUS,
PIONEER ALASKAN
(Anchorage Alaskan)
Cut down almost in the prime of
life, George Marcus, respected cit
izen of Anchorage and widely known
oldtimer of the Northland, passed
away at the Government hospital
early yesterday morning, following
a stroke of apoplexy. He was strick
en late Monday afternon and re
mained unconscious until the end.
The body is being prepared for bu
rial at the. Anchorage Funeral Par
lors.
George Marcus, a miller by trade
came north during the rush to the
Klondike and located at Dawson,
where he was employed by the old
Alaska Commercial Company and
later by the Northern Commercial
Company. From Dawson he migrat
ed to Fairbanks in the early days
of the Fairbanks camp and again
entered the employ of the Northern
Commercial Company, being in,
charge of the hardware department1
until called to the service of The i
Alaska Railroad, as general store-)
keeper at Nenana. While there his j
wife, whom he had married a few
years previously at Fairbanks, and
little daughter wTent down on the j
Sophia. Shortly after that he gave
up his position and went Outside,
engaging in the advertising business
in Portland, Oregon, where he later
maried again. He leaves a son by
this marriage, about two years of
age.
A little over two years ago the old
timer returned to Alaska and found
employment in the Anchorage store
of the Brown & Hawkins Corpora
tion, being in charge of the hard
ware department of that concern
at the time of his death.
The deceased was a past worthy
president of Fairbanks Aerie, No.
1037, Fraternal Order of Eagles,
.oast president of Fairbanks , Igloo
No. 4, Pioneers of Alaska and of
I the Shrine club of the Interior city.
He was a member of Tanana Lodge
No. 168 ,of Fairbanks, F. and A.
M., Scottish Rite 32° degree Mason
and a Shriner of Nile Temple, Seat
tle. He also was affiliated with the
; local Shrine club and was a mem- j
her of the First Presbyterian church |
of Anchorage.
George Marcus was a splendid
type of man and Alaskan. He was
temperate in his habits, generous in
his assistance of needy oldtimers and
always ready to do his bit in the
advancement and upbuilding of his
community. He was known through
out Alaska by oldtimers and was
universally respected.
Death came at a particularly un
fortunate time as Mrs. Marcus and
the baby were to come to Anchor
age in the near future.
The deceased was about 55 years
of age and apparently in perfect
health up to the fatal day. In fact
the oldtimer took no small pride in
his splendid physical condition and
illness was almost unknown to him.
Funeral arrangements are being
held in abeyance pending the re
cent of instructions from Mr,s. Mar
cus but in any event it is probable
Masonic services will be held.

The reliability of Red Crown Gasoline
and Standard Engine Distillate—uniform
in quality at all of the numerous conve
niently located distributing stations
maintained by Standard Oil Service in
Alaskan waters—is one of the mainstays
of the fishing industry.
“Red Crown” is volatile, starts easily,
and makes possible flexible maneuvering.
Standard Engine Distillate is especially
refined to make possible maximum oper
ating efficiency for marine engines de
signed to use this type of fuel and
operating at slow speeds.
Zerolene low cold-test lubricants and
Red Crown gasoline enable your auto
mobile to deliver the best that’s in it.
Write our office in the Alaska Build
ing, Seattle, or the nearest Standard Oil
Station (shown on the map) for details
concerning Standard Oil Service in
Alaska.
