In the hope that some of The Gate
way readers may possibly know some
information of the whereabouts
of Mrs. Florence A. Gibbs, who came
to Alaska many years ago, Andrew
Bacher, of Gilbertville, Mass., writes
this paper.
Her home was in Prince Edward
Island and Nova Scotia, the letter
reveals, but about 1S97 or the year
following she left for Alaska. She
was1 then a young woman and one of
a party that settled on Dominion
creek, about 40 miles from Dawson.
There, it is said, she was very success
ful in working a number of valuable
claims. She is also known to have
been in Nome for sometime.
About 1900, she was reported to
have married a Charles A. Brown, in
Dawson. Mr. Brown was supposed to
have been from Colorado. She was
also known to have had some depos
its in Alaskan banks. It is also re
!ported she came out to New York en
jgaged a lawyer there, and went back
i to Alaska to make an investigation
jof one of the banks in which had had
business with. She won the case, the
informant writes.
Mrs. Gibbs is also known to have
used the name of of Florence A. Bur
ges, and it is possible, it is said, that
under this latter name she may be
better known. At various times, lit
is said, she made trips to California.
Any information regarding upupuu
Any information regarding her will
be greatly appreciated by Mr. Bacher.
