And this living family tree {races it proud roots to a First Family! of Alaska. , First, take the exfremes in age today: Mrs. Archie White of Hoo- nah arrived here Monday, largely for: the pleasure of visiting with her great-great-granddaughter, Vic- toria Eli. In the “stepladder” group, all now in Juneau, are the infant, born last| year, her mother, Mrs. Jeanette Eli, who was born in Haines in 1928; grandmother, Mrs. Nigh, born in Haines in 1910; great-grandmomer,‘ Mrs. James Klannott of Hoonah, | who was korn there in 1892, and Great-Great-Grandmother White, | who was born in Sitka in 1876 or' 1877, Mis. White has 27 grandchildren, | 22 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. In excellent health, Mrs. White | has excellent visicn—she is able to| thread a Number 10 bead needle— and she has all her own teeth. She ! makes beautiful baskets of spruce| roots. She plans to spend most of the summer visiting her Juneau rela- tives. Mrs. White is the widow of a hly respected Sitkan whose {riendship was cherished by per-| sons of all ages of at least three nationalities. H A iull-blooded Tlingit, White was bern in Sitka, where he was to be-| come chief of his tribe. He learned the Russian language, later, the English, and he became interpreter! The keloved chisf, famed as a| cacemaker, cared for the Russian church and is the only person to be buried on the lene rock there. He married an older sister of | the present Mrs. White. After her death, he married another older sis- ter, who also passed away. In the Tlinzit tradition, to quote Mr. Nigh, “the family, not willing tc lose this fine man, offered the third sister in marriage”—the pres- ent Mrs. White. Of his five-generation family group, Mr. Nigh says proudly, “Truly, it is that which does not happen in every i1amily!” 3-Fo|(_i~ae_lebr‘at‘ion At Bert Alstead Home Yakutat, Kluckwan, Hoonah and| Angoon, the Bryn Mawr praiesscr! said. 7The expedition is under theg sponsorship of ths Arctic Institute| and the Viking Foundation.
