‘•Water! boy!!”
A Boy Scout with a pail of crystal
water, only to be found in Alaska,
dashed up.
The Boy Scouts and the “Gopher”
brigade were here, there, everywhere,
•working like beavers.
As a force of habit in laying down
a smoke screen and barrage to drive
the enemy into his dugout and confuse
him. someone lit a pile of brush. The
result was a the starting of what
threatened to become a forest fire.
The smoke was so dense that it might
have been a gas attack. The army
executed a flank momement to the
east and for an hour it was anybody's
fight. While the men trenched and
checked the advance of the most stub
born blaze, the “Gophers” proved real
soldiers. With hats, caps, sweaters
and coast laden with moist earth the
kiddos crept beneath the smoke and
smothered the flames from behind. It
was like bombing a machine gun nest,
and the kiddos won.
From the headquarters of the Wo
man’s Relief Corps, behind the firing
line came the call:
“Lunch!”
The order to “cease firing” brought
the victorious army from the field,
to line up before the tent where the
ladies handed out delicious sandwich
es, cakes and coffee to the hungry.
And there were some man’s-size appe
tites!
Tn front of the tent a large Ameri
can flag swung gently in the breeze,
as the colors were displayed.
Following lunch the ceremonies
of the day were begun. First the
Seward band rendered several selec
tions.
Post Commander Clyde R. Ellis
read a statement of the aims and pur
poses of the American Legion, after
which Rev. Thomas P. Graham led in
prayer, followed by singing of the
“Battle Hymn of the Republic” by the
ENDING EVENTFUL
! PIONEERING LIFE
PROPRIETOR OF PIONEER CLUB
FORCED TO GIVE UP LONG
STRUGGLE
i ■
John Nash, pioneer, was forced to
give up his struggle for life at 5:£0
■ yesterday morning after three weeks
I of suffering under the painful suffoca
tion of angina pectoris.
For the 7(5 years of his life, John
Nash has been a real pioneer, born in
Mississippi and starting in business
at an early age in St. Louis, Mo. lie
j is accredited with being the first man
to manufacture footwear on a com
mercial basis in that town more than
; 50 years ago.
The next step in his career as a pio- i
neer was marked by the early silver ;
: strike in Colorado where he accumu* j
lated wealth amounting to $70,000. The
i Denver Post at that time called him
! “the Silver King of North America.”
The beach .sold mining at Nome
then claimed Mr. Nash, and it was
here that he had the first trouble
j with his legs, freezing both feet in the
deathly cold of the northern winters.
In 1904 Mr. Nosh came to Seward, J
where he decided to settle down. He
homesteaded at the head of Resurrec
tion Bay in 1905. Since that time he
| sold considerable land approximating
300 acres, but retained 37 acres which |
is now left to his estate.
It was on his homestead and in !
1916 that his legs began to bother him j
again, for after days and months of:
clearing glacier streams that endan
gered his farm with flood waters, the
circulation in his appendages was ham
pered. In the fall of 1922. Dr. J. A.
Baughman was consulted in regard
to this bad circulatory condition,
which returned in evidence the fol
lowing fall when gangrene complica
tions set in.
The respected pioneer was taken to
Anchorage hospital .where three times
portions of his right leg were ampu
tated. Shortly after, the same con
dition was revealed in the other leg,
and amputation was performed in Se
attle. Since that time an increase of
blood pressure and hardening of the
arteries was evidenced, rendering an
almost unbearable suffering from pain !
and loss of sleep. About three weeks {
ago a true case of angina peetooris |
was diagnosed ending finally in death.
Before his death Mr. Nash asked
Sergeant (Director) Honeyman to
have his band play where he could
hear the music. Although the Memo
rial exercises were held in the new
cemetery, the band did play a few
numbers on the Brown & Hawkins bal
cony opposite John Nash’s store with
reverent compliance with his last re
quest.
Funeral services will be held at the
Seward Undertaking Parlors at 2 p. m.
Thursday with the service rites ad
ministered by the Pioneers of Alaska.
Frank Moore, president, issued a spe
cial call for all members tov attend.
The body will be the first to be laid
to rest in the new Seward cemetery.
: Children of the Jesse Lee Home.
After a selection by the band. Mayor
L. V. Hay delivered a short address
appropos of the day and the dedica
tion of the new cemetery was made j
by Mr. Ellis, followed by a benediction j
by Rev. Charles T. Hatten.
The band then rendered other selec
tions, after which the people returned
to Seward.
An appreciable area was cleared
for a cemetery and a greater portion
of the driveway leading thereto w&f
graveled.
