Good morning! I am trying to find the missing puzzle pieces to a family mystery. My husband's cousin in Norway told us that her uncle had told her a story about Johan and Lars Jorgensen in the Gold Rush. They were in a partnership with a German on a mining claim that was doing very well, and they had many men working for them. There was a tower on the property where the partners could oversee the operations. Johan was gone on a trip with the dogsled team, and when he returned, Lars was dead and the German and the gold were gone. A supervisor at the site told Johan that the German had pushed Lars from the tower. January 30,1899: Johan's application for placer mining claim #19886 at Dawson. Claim at Hester Creek was marked January 18. Lars died December 20, 1899 at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Dawson. Cause of death: Fall down shaft and Peritonitis. He was listed as Louis John Jorgenson in Yukon death register 1898-1903. Age 40 years. Johan was listed as his brother in Hootalinqua. This answers some questions, but raises others. Questions: Were there any other cemeteries in Dawson besides the YOOP in 1899? Is there is a listing of burials at the YOOP Cemetery? Was the RCMP stationed in Dawson in 1899? I wonder if Johan would have contacted them when he returned to find his brother dead and the partner and gold gone? Is there still a Good Samaritan Hospital in Dawson? Thank you, Pat Jorgensen, near Seattle.
