color:black'>Wm Green Thomas, Walter Parrott and J.E. Worden happen to be
people that I do have information on. I covered all three in a history column
that I wrote years ago at Wrangell. I will dig out the story on Wm Green Thomas
and send it to you. I also have a photo that was used in the story. I recently
found information on him while researching a group of women who owned the
garnet mine near Wrangell. He traveled to California to appear as a witness for
the women when they sued someone for trying to sell them their own mine. Not a
great deal but thought it was interesting that he had traveled all that way
with the court record book to prove that the women owned the mine. Which brings
to mind that it is sure is great to have copiers and fax machines! I have been
trying to locate another ancestor of his for some time to give her the updated information
but have never been able to locate her. She left Spokane and I lost track of
her. Between the two of us we had been able to piece together his life story.
My research of him started as a result of a short story by Rick Steber about
the Blue Mountain incident. A relative of someone living in Wrangell sent the
clipping and asked if she could find the rest of the story. Wm. Green Thomas
was a well respected man throughout Alaska.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hello!<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>This weekend I have been reworking a newspaper index for
newspapers from Wrangell, Alaska that I completed in 1995. I have had a
recent request for the entire project and since I have better software, I
thought I would try to recreate the index and burn it to a CD to make it
available to more libraries and researchers in Alaska. At the time it was
pretty expensive to provide hard copies. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Part of the index was a <u>vital statistics</u> section
which listed names whether they were found in the newspaper or public
records. The newspapers were primarily Wrangell newspapers but I also did
research in Victoria, BC so you may see some newspapers cited from that
city. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>While the index was done for 1898-1899, there are other
dates included because of the various researches that I was doing at the
time. I thought this information on people who lived at W rangell, Alaska
might be of interest since these people were either born in Oregon before
traveling to Alaska or have an Oregon connection. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The newspapers are available through your local library on
microfilm and/or microfiche. Please note, that unless you want to have
the primary source in your files, the information listed is complete – in fact
some information is additional from research that I had and I added it to the
name.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is the only information that I have on these people. I
hope that this information will be of help to someone.<o:p></o:p></p>
