Peter X. Peterson, One Of
Nome’s Oldest Oldtimers,
Leaves For Pioneer Home
One of Nome’s oldest, if not the
oldest, in years of residence, left
today for Sitka to take up resi
dence at the Pioneer Home.
Peter X. Peterson was born in
Christianstad, Sweden, in 1874,
immigrated to the United States
in 1891 and to Valdez, Alaska and
the Capper River section in the
spring of 1898. In the winter of
1898 Pete was one of a party
of ten to travel over to the head
waters of the Tanana River, haul
ing their outfits by hand a dis
tance of several hundred miles.
In the spring of 1899, learning
of the recent Nome gold strike,
Pete as one of a party of four
headed for the strike, down the
Tanana and Yukon Rivers to St.
Michael across Norton Sound
from Nome, using a skiff made
from whipsawed lumber, and
four man powered rowing oars
as propelling power for the long
1100-mile distance.
With the exception of two trips
to the States, and 11 years’ ser
vice in Nome’s Fire Department,
Pete has spent the 55 years in
prospecting and mining in the
Nome district.
The ibest wishes of Nome and
its citizens go with Pioneer Peter
X. Peterson for the years of his
well-deserved retirement.
Lt. Charles Brumlow, accom
panied by his wife and child, have
arrived to make their home in
Nome. Lt. Brumlow is taking over
the duties of Bob Oliver and Don
Hurlbert at the National Guard
headquarters.
