OBITUARY
MRS. WM. G. THOMAS

Mrs. Lyda McAvoy Thomas was born and educated in West Vir- ginia- She came to Alaska in 1884 as a missionary teacher un- der the board of Home missions of the Presbyterian church. She was appointed teacher in the first government school in Alaska in 1885. She and William G. Thom- as were united in marriage Octo- Der Fist, 1888, by the Rev. Allan Mckay in the Presbyterian church, in Wrangell.
 Since that time they made their home in Wrangell except about eight years during which time they resided in other places in Alaska. Mrs. Thomas was an active member of the Presby- terian church and a teacher in the primary department of the Sunday school until she began to decline in health about five years ago. She was taken to the States for treatment several times, but continued to grow weaker until the morning of January 3, 1918, when she departed this life trust ing in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. The funeral service was held in the Presbyterian church, Friday, January 4, 1918, at 2 D. m., in the presence of a large number of friends. The pastor Rev. J. s. Clark, was assisted by the Rev. H. P. Cor ser, of the Episcopal church, and Adjutant H. c. Habkirk of the Salvation Army.
 By special request of Judge Thomas, the song Lead. Kindly Light" was to have been sung by a quartet of Native people con- posed of Mir. Fred Wigg and his daughter, Grace, MT. William H. Lewis and Miss Hannah Cho-. quette, but owing to the absence of Mir. Wigg Dr. Bulkley sang the tenor as a substitute. The service closed by the singing of Jesus Lover of My Soul' by the congregation. Both songs used were favorites of Mrs. Thomas.
 The pail bearers were: Mayor Matheson, H. Gartley, H. D. Campbell, o. C. Palmer, Charles Benjamin, c. M. Coulter. The following members of the Mason ic fraternity were named as aux Hilary pail bearers: Donald Sin clair, Glenn Diemart, M. A. Me- Nurney, Dr. s. c. Schurick, Dr. J. L. Bulkley, Dr. c. H. Upton, J. M. Cole, c. E. Weber, J. w. Pritchett.
 Every business house in town closed at noon and all business was suspended until after the funeral.
 In the death of Mrs. Thomas Wrangell loses a noble woman who for more than 30 years was active in the social and religious life of the community. There are a number of men and women who are now fathers and mothers of families who learned some of their first serious lessons of life from the lips of Mrs. Thomas who was their first Sunday-school teacher.
 Judge Thomas has the deepest sympathy of the community in his afliction.
