, m SINGERS
The Juneau Singers at th r
meeting last Thursday voted to give
a secular concert March 9 under
the sponsorship of the Juneau
Woman’s Chib—the profits to be
divided. Vice-President Edith Moore
appointed a committee of Mrs. Jane
McMullin, Larry Parker and Miss
Betty Hammond to meet with the
Woman's Club to work out the de
tails of the concert.
The Juneau Singer., also voted to
give their share of the profits of
the concert to the High School Mu
sic Department for the express pur
pose of helping to send the high
school chorus to the music festival
in Ketchikan this April.
The Juneau singers feel that the
chorus has done such splendid work
this year under the direction of
Miss Marjorie Iverson that they
want to see them given the oppor
tunity to perform in Ketchikan,
officers of the organization said.
All persons interested in singing
in this concert are urged to attend
rehearsal tomorrow night at 8:45
p.m. in the Methodist church as it is

will be numbers for small groups to
start learning.

PIONEER JUNEAU
WOMAN PASSES
AWAY HERE TODAY
Mr.-;. Maude Dull, one of Juneau's
oldest pioneers, was found dead in
; her home on Willoughby Avenue to
day by her friend and neighbor, Mrs.
Dolly Silva. Death was attributed to
natural causes. Mrs. Dull had not
been in good health for some time
and had complained particularly of
feeling ill the past few weeks, her
friends said.
Mrs. Silva stopped in to see Mrs.
Dull, as was her almost daily habit,
at 12:40 o’clock this afternoon and
found her lying over the bathtub in
her home. Mrs. Silva called in an
other neighbor, Mrs. Rose Snyder
who is a registered nurse, and the
city police. Mrs. Snyder said she
was unable to find pulse when she
examined Mrs. Dull and the police
immediately called Dr. C. C. Carter
who examined the sticken woman
and pronounced her dead. He said
death had occurred three or four
hours earlier.
Oldtimers questioned today could
not recall the exact year v.h n Mr.;.
Dull came to Juneau but i: is
known to have been between 1805
and 1900. She was born in Scheu
| eetady, N.Y. She would never give
; her exact age but it was between
i 70 and 80 years.
In the early 1900's Mrs. Dull, who
was then Maude Meaford. was mar
i ried to George Saum, a miner. They
had one daughter, Nadine, who is
! now Mrs. W. R. Calvert of Cam
j bridge. Mass. She visited recently
j with her mother here.
Mr. Saum died in 1922 and in
1021 his widow married Thom::
: Dull, also an oldtime resident of
. Juneau. Mr. Dull died here about
five year ago.
Mrs. Dull was a member of Auxil
iary Igloo No. 6, Pioneers of Ala: k :.
; She lived quietly and was al\v?v.<
cheerful and kindly when she met
with her many old friends.
The remains are at the Carter
Mortuary and funeral arrange
ments will be made after word is
received from Mrs. Calvert who has
; been notified of her mother’s
death.
