"Sinnrock Mary" also known to as Reindeer Mary" passed away here at Unalakleet, Novem- Der 22, l948. She has for some time lived with the Frank Ryan family. The service was held in the Mission church, and a goodly number. of people came to the sol emn meeting. Stephan Ivanoff also spoke about Mary, as he had known her since he was a little boy. He stated that the departed friend was about one hundred years old
 Many Alaskans will remember Mary from former years. She spoke Native, Russian and Eng fish quite fluently. Early she was baptized and belonged to the Greek Catholic Church. Later she became a member of the Mission Church, Whree she belonged till her call came 10 rest. Even Mary shall rest until she is called forth, as we believe, in The First Resur- rection. Her deeds of kindness do follow her, and her reward ac- cordingly shall not be wanting.
 Service was held in the church Thanksgiving Day in the evening. Several of the older women, be- lievers, sang in their beloved na- tive tongue. One of these older wo- men, after having come home from the service, moved gasoline lan- tern from one room to the other in her home In doing so, he clothes

 Dorn Jensen, heading the Dan ish investigations, said the search wit hthe aid of the FBI, began when S1,650 given in payment for a new American car here was found to be counterfei.ed with ''extraordinary skill" The investi- gation, Jensen said, had spread to Belgium, Sweden, Norway and England.
