Moran died September Is. while en- route
down the river TO ST. Michael. He was
afflicted with diabetes. The remains have
been embalmed and it is expected viii be
sent to Seattle on the steamer Roanoke.
Paul Moran we;it to Dutch harbor a year
ago to superintendent the construction OF
the Moran fleet of Yukon river steamers.
He remained there all winter. finishing his
task, and then went to St. Michael and
proceeded up the river TO Dawson on the
steamer Terrell, intending 10 return TO Sc
atile by way of Dyea or Skagway. But 1t
seems he changed his mind and started
down the river again to leave the north
on the steamer Roanoke. He was sick a
few days at Dawson. and day or two
after leaving there his maiady became
worse, eliminating in his death two days
before the Roanoke reached st. Michael
There were three physicians on the river
boat. who showed him every attention.
They embalmed his remains.
Mr.. Moran was unfortunate in losing his
wife while he was away. Her death oc-

Paul Moran was born at Montcair, Il.
