ANCIENT RUSSIAN CEMETERY

SNNSIGNt nSSS1HN WE'VE En
 Comment is often made on the fact that Seward has so few deaths, there having been only four since the town was started. Of these one was by drowning, one a suicide, and another by disease, a new comer dropping dead from heart disease. The fourth and last was the demise of the infant son of MT. and Mrs. Terry a few days ago.
 Yet there is quite a cemetery down the harbor seven miles. In looking north on the west side of Resurrec- tion Bay, one sees a long wooded point, there is located what may be termed an ancient Russian cemetery, the remains of from 40 to 50 graves being in evidence
 It is supposed that these people were among those who helped build the. Russian ships in this magnificent harbor about 137 years ago.
