A Son To His Father
There is only once in a man's life when a son has the
opportunity of paying honor to his father in the manner in
which I am about to do so. During the years my father and
I have been engaged in .the publication of The Nome Nugget,
we have written many obituaries of prominent Nomeites
■ who have passed to their rewards. I now come to the time
when such a record must be written for my father. I enter
upon it knowing my limitations, and that he was engaged
in the newspaper field long before I was born. His expert
| advice and guiding hand at the helm will be keenly missed.
\ Eterly Sunday. August 27th, a telegram was received of
the death of George S. Maynard, Editor and Publisher of
The Nome Nugget following a tonsilectomy, at Portland. Ore
gon. August 24th. Complications set in on the 26th. and he
passed away at 4:00 A. M., August 27th. The news of his
death came as a great shock to his wife, daughter and son,
as he had been in good health. He had been undergoing treat
ment of sinus.
In memory of his many years as publisher, no issue of
The Nome Nugget was published Monday. To our many
friends and business associates we wish to express the deep
est appreciation for their kind sympathies and understand
ing, and trust that in the future we may deserve their con
tinued friendships and associations.
George S. May-nard is survived by a widow and two
children all of whom are long-time residents of Nome; a
sister and brother at Dawson; and a sister and brother at
Jermyn, Pennsylvania—his birthplace.
He first came to Nome in 1900 with the stampede to the
new gold fields, remaining here to engage in the newspaper
business, in which he worked variously on The Nome News,
The Gold Digger Nome Chronicle, and finally as publisher
of The Nome Nugget.
I In 1906 George S. Maynard and Mary Schafer were
\ married in Nome. Two children were born to them some
years later and today make their homes in Nome. Following
the natural lessening of interest in the gold fields of Nome,
which lasted until the active development of the gold dredg
! es, and modern means of mining, George S. Maynard as a
publisher was responsible for the unlimited publicity ac
corded Nome. The “covering” of many important Arctic ex
plorations; the advent of the airplane and resulting develop
ment of air traffic all brought to Nome through the Asso
ciated Press and other news agencies, untold volumes of
t publicity, which has carried the name Nome to the far
* corners of the earth.
His useful life far from being ended, he left for the
; States this spring for a well-earned vacation and medical
care. Sunday, he died at the age of 59.
A Pioneer in every respect of the word, he carried as
j the “masthead” of his paper—“An independent newspaper
devoted to the interests and development of this part of the
Territory.” In the gold rush to 'the Klondike in 1898 and 18- 1
I 99. he was associated with other famous northern editors in
the publication of the Dawson News and Dawson Nugget, '
■ two of the first papers to be established in the North. Many
of his earlier associates have since passed on including Maj
or J. F. A. Strong. “Stroller” White, Will and Harry Steel
and Morrissey of Ketchikan days, and a host of others.
As a representative of the people he served seven terms
as Mayor of Nome, numerous terms as president of the 1
Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce, and presided
in ranking chairs in many of the fraternal orders of Nome,
including the Pioneers of Alaska Igloo No. 1 of which he
was a charter member; The Loyal Order of Moose No. 1413 of
which he was also a charter member; the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows A-5; and the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
During his absence in the States Mrs. George. S. May- !
nard has aated in the capacity of Manager. The Nome Nug- i
get will continue publication under much the same condi
tions as prior to his death.
My father's wish was that when his time came he would
t like to placed at rest in Nome, where he had lived his life.
3 His body is to be brought back to Nome where funeral serv
ices will be held.
It is with ithe deepest respect and honor to a Pioneer
Newspaperman and his life’s profession that we write—
•THIRTY” to his career.
