I live in Anchorage and haven't been to Eagle in quite a few years.. I used to know the VPSO there (Village Public Safety Officer) but I think he moved into town and became a trooper. :/ If you're still looking for that info though ~ maybe you can try calling the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve in Eagle? They keep a page on Facebook (or you can just google their contact numbers.) Seeing as they're a federal agency like BLM.. if they don't have the info, they'll probably know where to get it for you. Hopefully, you've already found what you're looking for? :0) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

 Looks like you might have to go through the City Clerk. "The borough clerk shall keep books or records recording the names of owners of all graves owned or sold, the names of persons interred therein, the date of death and burial and such other statistics as may be necessary." There are 2 cemeteries operated by the city.   ''There are two cemeteries owned and operated by the City. The first one, which is the oldest cemetery of the two, is called the Wrangell Memorial Cemetery, which is located 1 mile south from downtown on Zimovia Highway. The second is called Sunset Gardens Cemetery, which is located 1.5 mile south from downtown on Zimovia Highway The City also owns and operates the "Columbarium", which is a structure of vaults that accommodate urns. Each niche or vault is 12 inches by 12 inches by 15 ½ inches, which may ac-commodate one or two urns. " According to his death certificate, Fred Sever (1876-1942) is buried in Wrangell AK, but the name of the cemetery is unknown. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AK-CEMETERIES-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Don't know if you've seen this site but it shows a burial in 1943. Not the one you're looking for maybe but you could contact them by phone and find the info you need possibly. http://www.cem.va.gov/cems/nchp/ftrichardson.asp#hi HISTORICAL INFORMATION Fort Richardson National Cemetery is located on the Fort Richardson Military Reservation in Anchorage, Alaska. During World War II, 39 acres of Fort Richardson were set aside for use as a temporary burial site where deceased soldiers-regardless of nationality-could be laid to rest. Under the international program for the return of war dead, most of the soldiers interred at Fort Richardson were returned to their families. There were, however, some soldiers who remained buried at Fort Richardson either because the next of kin could not be found or their families requested that they remain interred in Alaska. In December 1946, the temporary cemetery at Fort Richardson was made a permanent site. Initially there were two sections in the cemetery. The remains of Allied soldiers were buried within a fenced area referred to as the "Allied Plot." Japanese soldiers who died in battles for the Aleutian Islands were buried outside the fence in an area designated as the "Enemy Plot." In July 1953, the 235 Japanese war dead buried at Fort Richardson were disinterred for proper cremation with appropriate Shinto and Buddhist ceremonies, under the supervision of the Japanese Embassy. In May 1981, a group of Japanese citizens in Anchorage had a new marker made to remember the soldiers who, in death, remain far from home. ''Kermit Roosevelt, son of the 26th U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt died at Fort Richardson June 3, 1943, Major Roosevelt was interred at the cemetery on June 8, 1943.'' ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <AK-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 10:53 AM Subject: [AK-CEMETERIES] Alaska Defense command post cemetery 1943 > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: northwestpioneer > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.cemetery.us.ak/36/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I have an obituary for a Colonel who died in 1942 and was buried in the > "post cemetery" in Anchorage in 1943 after his body was found.
