We read of Nels Hitchcock’s passing in the Fairbanks Daily News Miner and we are saddened.
\nJim (his brother) is the guy the kids remember, but his mother and father were very important in Dad’s 1950’s years in Fairbanks:
\nFrom “The Alaskan: America’s Farthest North Political Newspaper:” Lead photo is of Ben Hitchcock–“late homesteader at Caribou Creek was one of the founders of the Alaska Party:”
\n“FOUNDERS WIFE VIES FOR HOUSE: Kay Hitchcock is a candidate for the House of Representatives from the 3rd Division on the Alaska Party ticket…..Mrs. Hitchcock has two sons, Nels 14, who is attending school in Fairbanks and Jim, who is continuing the family cabin-building business at Caribou Creek.”
\nThere is much more to this article and the newsletter, including a “party history” article (pre-statehood).
\nIt is part of Dad’s and Mom’s history in 1950s Fairbanks. We think of the Hitchcock family very fondly.
\nMuch warmth and love, Chena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
