INTERESTING LETTER FROM
ROB STOUT, TELLING OF OLD
TIMERS AT PIONEERS’ HOME
Robert A. Stout (Bob), former
veil known oldtimer of this section,
in a letter to Mrs. D. E. Clough, re
ceived a few days ago, writes inter
estingly of former Pioneers now at
the Pioneers Home, as follows:
Sitka, Alaska, Oct. 3, 1928. i
Dear Mrs. Clough: You can’t im
agine bow surprised and delighted I
was to receive your splendid letter, so
full of. news about the “old camping
gyound,” and also concerning the old
timer,many of. whom I consider my
true friends. I thank you for men
tioning everyhody, nearly, but there
<>Be still a few whom I should like to 1
hear about—Harvey Mitchell, Charlie
Woods, Tom McLean and. wife, Char
lie Smith, Von Frank, Mss... Werner,1
a ad .Lee Page.. I think you mentioned;
ad the. rest.
Now. I suppose you want to hear
something about the Pioneers Home, j
and especially about those you knew ;
irm the Kuskokwim. Well, these,;
Sibelle, John Lundberg (the watch- j
man . on the Quickstep), and ALj
Haynes, from the lower river, came J
here shortly after I did. They are all |
dead. At. the present time there ar.e!
Charlie Rebhun, Ike Koski, Mr. Rab
ioeau, who was Gasoline Nick’s part
ner, Dan Rice, who was at McGrath
When . Charlie Grover shot Phillips,
Gus Mclsaac, and myself. They all
wish ..toj be remembered’ to all their
friends and especially to you and
Dave.
You. remember Gus Mclsaac. He
rooms with me and he is a fine part
nm: He is partly paralyzed, but he
is: cheerful, and says to tell you he is
going ;back to the Kuskokwim pretty
quick.. Nearly all our boys are in
rooms, two in a room—Charlie Re
bhun and Dan Rice, Gus Mclsaac and
myself, and Mr. Rabideau with Victor
Lard, .from Fairbanks.
Ike-Koski came here a few months
ago, and was here a couple of weeks
before I knew it; I would never have
known him. It seems he went out to
Seattle and went to work, for some
Finnish friends near there. Finally,
after two years, he went to. Tenakee
r • Springs, and from there he came over
jkttrti-..
Charlie Rebhun is quite a character
■ here. He came here with a bunch of
j; watches, rings and trinkets, which he
| dispqsed of among the natives, and
| has done some small jobs of painting
\ and lettering. He wishes to be spe
{ cially .remembered.
Now as to the1 Home itself. We
| have a first-class superintendent..
j There are 168 Pioneers here, and the.'
| place is about filled up. They built, a
new addition of 24 rooms two. years!
I ago, but the old buildings should be
torn down and a new cement building
1 erected. The Home is splendidly lo- j
; cated, right is the heart of the town,
| and close: to the postoffice, churches, j
and near to the wharves. When the (
L band turns out they always come here j
i to play, and we have a good Thanks
I giving, Fourth of July and Christ
| mas. The Pioneer igloos in general
l'. are very gpod. Ketchikan always
| sends $100. every Christmas, and
1 Ruby, Iditarod and Fairbanks also
p contribute. Last Christmas Mr.
H Grosso of. the movies, suggested that
j:.: all. the movie houses of Alaska should'
' Contribute one night’s performance
p far the old pioneers. They did so,
t and raised about $800 in Southeastern
^ Alaska; You may imagine how
^pleased the oldtimers were. We all
(" hope the whole Territory will con
jg tinue it.
kl mustn’t forget to ask you to
tank Mr. Grant for sending us The
usko Times. Give our kind regards
KSIo all those you mentioned and' to
HHKhose I have inquired about, and as
tfSbr yourself and Dave remember me
||Lj your sincere friend.
