Will the lady looking for the man in Ruby please write to me, I accidentally lost your e mail,,,, B Gurtler

Hi Beverly; It's me! I thought you'd forgotten all about me! Did your husband remember anything about my Ruby ancestor? I reread his obituary and it said: Sewell Moody Dalby "S.M. Dalby, old time Klondiker. He worked a lease near Discovery, Sulphur; alos on 36 above, Sulphur, which was then owned by Duncan Hackett, who is at the front; and David Fyree. In 1904 Mr. Dalby joined the big exodus to Fairbanks where he worked a lease on the famous Discovery Bench on Cleary Creek. In 1910 he went to Iditarod, where he ran a stage from Iditarod to Flat City. In 1911 he drove his stock overland via the Innoko to Ruby, and lost several head in the venture. Here he was associated with Andy Webster, a fromer Fairbansan, in the freighting business. Later he teamed on his own account, and for years ran a woodsaw in Ruby, where he married a few years ago. He was born and brought up in Victoria, B.C. where his relatives reside." The above obituary was written in Oct or November of 1918, just after the Sophia went down with all on board. In it, it mentions that he was married (probably to someone from Ruby and probably a native woman is my guess). She was not on board the Sophia, but had come outside about a wekk or 2 before him. Unfortuantely, no one knows her name. We think there was a son as well. So glad to see your email - hope your summer is going well, Sue suebarr@direct.ca Sue Barr G - 5 Bowen Island, B.C.
