YAUIKZ I,OH EH OLDEST CITIZEN'
William H. Robinson, Better Knonn
as “Dad,” Succumbs to Canter,
After Suffering for Several Months
with Malignant Disease.
>
On Saturday afternoon, after sev
eral months of intense suffering,
there passed from our midst William
H. Robinson, in the eighty-sixth year
of his age.
No one in this section was better
1 known or held a warmer spot in the
hearts of the people than “Old Dad"
Robinson. Having passed the allot
ted span of three score years and ten
by more than a decade. Dad was still
an active virile man, always ready
with a helping hand to those in
need, with a cheery word and smile
to the downcast, bearing his own suf
, ferlngs with fortitude. He will be
sadly missed, and his memory remain
ever fresh in the minds of those with
whom he was associated.
William W. Robinson was born in
Jackson County, New York, in 183b>
and started for California before he
attained his majority. He made the
trip around the Horn in a sailing ship
and landed in San Francisco in the
fall of 1849. He was married in 1850,
ana movea 10 Virginia vuj, wirao
he engaged in mining, which indus
try he followed for the greater part
of his life, having held a number of
responsible positions with large min
ing companies in California, Nevada
and other western states. In 1S98
he came to Alaska, stopping at
Ketchikan, where he followed his
trade, and in 1902 came to Valdez
where he has since resided.
Last August Mr. Robinson was
operated on for cancer, from which
he was suffering intensely. For a
time following the operation he ex
perienced relief, but the disease con
tinued to spread, involving the vital
organs, and it became evident a short
time ago that lie was beyond hope of
recovery. Notwithstanding . his in
tense suffering he was patient and
cheerful to the last.
The interment will take place on
Wednesday at the local cemetary*
The services will be under the dir
ection of the Valdez lodge Order of
Alaska Pioneers, of which the de
ceased was a member. '
The la3t two months have demon
strated that the ILES' Plant has the
only waterpower worth mentioning.
It is always on the job. Let us cut
you in. adv-tt

GUTS NOISY RKCHPTION
The arrival of the Karragut was
heralded by the blowing of whistles,
ringing of bells, firing of guns and
the sound of other noise producing
instruments which led the uninitiated
to believe that-—maybe—the presi
dent of the Unite?! States was aboard.
The launch Mary Lee, from the Gran
by mine, loaded with passengers, and
decorated with flags oozed noise from
stem to stern as she circled about the
incoming steamer.
When the gang-plank was in place
and the passengers disembarked, a
tall young man. accompanied by an
attractive young lady, were the re
cipients of unusual attention. Show
ers of rice flew in every direction,
covering the couple with a coating 61
white.
The mystery was explained. The
noisy and enthusiastic reception was
the welcome extended by the towns
people to Palmer J. Cook, foreman ol
the Granby mine, and his bride, and
if noise is any indication, Mr. and
Mrs. Cook are surely popular. As
the bridal pair walked down the
plank the steamer whistle joined in
the din and the happy couple made a
hurried escape from the wharf.
Mr. and Mrs. Cook had kept the
fact that they were newly wedded
from the people on the boat, and the
greeting of the steamer was a mys
tery to the officers and crew until the
shower of rice, old boots, etc., com
menced to appear.
The couple will make their home
across the bay, where Mr. Cook is
foreman for the Grandy mine.
