Before leaving for the States and
the Pioneers Home he came to Nome

SITKA, Alaska. May 23. 1922
Mr. O. D. COCHRAN. Nome:
My Dear Friend:
I must advise you of the death of
our little friend John Grosch. poor
I John, has never regained his spirits
since he came, he had been cared
for in the hospital where he could
have a tittle better attention, and
some of the other inmates would
t;»k< him out for a walk every time
ihe weather would permit.
However. Saturday May 21. after
he had had a walk with one of the
other boys, and after a few minutes
sleep in a chair he got up and slipp
ed out from the porch and went I
down the beach about a mile below j
town. Managing to find a piece of j
rope on his travels, he managed to
hang himself to a small tree, in a
small thicket of brush and trees
that it was so dense it was most im
possible to get thru.
Every one around the Home had
learned to liked him and his rad
ending came as a shock. He will
be buried in the usual manner in
thr cemetery for the Pioneers Home.
Will you kindly notify his friends
as you are more familiar with them
than I am. I might add that all
the formalities of a coroner’s jury
were of course necessary.
With my very best personal re
Yours very truly.
THEO. KETTLESON.
Supt. Alaska Pioneers Home
The natural conclusion is that Mr.
Grosch pined for his old home and
in a fit of despondency decided to
end his life.
