Death of Rev.* Elmer H. Dahle Ends Long Years of
Lutheran Missionary Service in Northwestern Alaska
Rev. Elmer H. Dahle, mission-'
ary of the Shishmaref Lutheran
Church, died suddenly in the par
sonage at Shishmaref last Satur
day afternoon.
Memorial services were con
ducted by Rev. Norval Hegland at
Shishmaref Sunday morning, with
Walter Nayokpuk and Ray Nin
gealook speaking for the congre
gation. Memorial services were
conducted at Teller Lutheran
Church Sunday evening, with
Steven Okboak speaking for the
congregation.
The funeral service will be held
at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church
in Nome, John Maakestad, Pastor,
on Friday afternoon.
Rev. Dahle was born at Sioux
City, Iowa, July 18, 1892. He
graduated from St. Olaf College,
Northfield, Minn., and Luther
Theological Seminary, St. Paul,
Minn., in 1919. He was married
to Ingeborg Hanson at Canton,
S. D., June 26, 1919. After serving
the parish at Bryant, S. D., Rev.
and Mrs. Dahle sailed to Alaska
on the SS Victoria to work on
the Eskimo Mission Field. They
landed at Nome October 5, and
went to Teller on The Sea Wolf,
landing on October 12, 1921.
The Dahles served the Brevigs
Memorial Lutheran Church at
Teller Mission for three years,
and the Lutheran Mission at
Mary’s Igloo for four years, and
then returned to the States on
furlough.
In 1927, the Dahles were called
back to Igloo, where they served
for three years. The Lutheran
Daughters of the Reformation,
through the encouragement of
Rev. Dahle and Sister Anna
Huseth, had raised the money and
purchased the building materials
for a Mission to be erected at
Shishmaref. In 1930, Rev. and
Mrs. Dahle and their children
landed at Shishmaref with all of
the building materials for the
mission station.
Rev. Dahle took charge of the
erection of the building, and
acquainted the people with the
use of the square and the saw, in
addition to teaching them the
Gospel. Throughout the summer,
the village people worked to
gether, and by late fall the Dahle
family were able to move into the
living quarters.
The records show that the
people of Shishmaref voluntarily
assisted in the building program
and gave their services to the
church as a village project.
After a well-earned furlough,
Rev. and Mrs. Dahle and their
children returned to Igloo for a
year, and then flew from Teller
to Shishmaref in a Tri-Motor Ford
in 1936, for “aviation” had come
to Alaska. They were at Shish
maref until 1948, and then were
called to the United Lutheran
Church at Chester, Iowa, for ten
years. In the fall of 1958, the
Dahles returned to Shishmaref.
Two weeks ago, they spent sev
eral days at Nome, visiting with
friends and Rev. Dahle showed
his moving pictures at the Lu
theran Church.
He is survived by his wife, a
son, Dr. Ben Morris, Monterey,
Calif., and a daughter, Mrs. Leif
(Kiatcha) Lee, New York.
Borough Question
Bypassed In Joint
Local Affairs Meet
JUNEAU, Wl — The Joint Local
Affairs Committee of the Legis
lature voted Monday to take a
hands-off policy on the proposed
annexation of Fairview to An
chorage.
The House-Senate group met
after a series of hearings on pro
posals of the Local Boundary
Commission.
It also voted to make no rec
ommendation on the Boundary
Commission proposal that the
state make a start on its unique
system of intermediate govern
ment by establishing four organ
ized boroughs this year.
However, the Boundary Conn
mission said its borough recom
mendations were not formal, and
were not to be considered under
the constitutional provision.
The committee came out in fa
vor of two other annexations rec
ommended formally by the com
mission — one to annex the Gov
ernment Hill area to Anchorage^
and one to annex adjacent areas
to Kodiak.
“We felt the Fairview proposal
was too much of a hot potato for
our committee to handle,” said
Sen. H. C. Bradshaw of Sitka. “We
decided to leave it up to the full
body of each house.”
Under a Constitutional provi
sion, the annexation proposals
will have the force of law if they
are not approved by the Legisla
ture before March 19.
For that reason, the Boundary
Commission did not make its bor
ough recommendations formally.
Rader Warns
Lottery Sponsors
‘Get Out, Quick’
JUNEAU, — Raffle and lot
tery sponsors in Alaska were
warned Monday night to “get out
and get out quick”
Attorney General John Rader
told a news conference his office
would “begin enforcement of anti
lottery laws in a proper amount of
time.” Rader said this meant as
soon as the public has been made
aware of the fact lotteries are
illegal.
“I’m talking about public gam
bling of any kind,” Rader em
phasized.
“By this time next week there
should be no more lotteries con
ducted in this state — unless, of
course, the Legislature in the
meantime changes the existing
law.”
The Attorney General was re
ferring to legislation pending be
fore the Legislature which would
sanction certain types of lotter
ies and raffles.
Rader declined comment on
possible staff action in relation to
the seizure of Nenana Ice Clas
sic lottery tickets at Juneau last
Friday.
He said records of the seizure
had not been relayed to his office
•by the office of the U. S. Attorney.
