| A BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Mr. Hanbury, mentioned in the item below taken from the West Coast Trade, Tacoma, is an ex-pupil of Carlisle. Davis & Hanbury, progressive and intelligent Alaskan natives, are in the city this week, buying stocks for opening a large general store at Metlakahtla. After an investigation of various markets Messars Davis & Hanbury decided that Tacoma was the most advantageous point for purchasing, and have satisfied their needs at this point. The Red Man, January 1899 |
| A very interesting letter from ex-student Thomas Hanbury shows that

| Thomas Hanbury, an Alaskan, who is now living in Ketchikan, Alaska,
and who completed a term at Carlisle but did not graduate, is making a
success in competition with the whites in that far-away country. He is
a contracting carpenter. He owns two houses, one, a nine-room house at
Ketchikan, and the other a four-room house at Metlakahtla, Alaska, which
are modem in every way, and which he built himself. He has two very nice
children. In a letter he says, "I am now a citizen of the United
States; you see I am not going back to the blanket. I thank Old Carlisle
often for what she has done for me.”

Funeral services will be held at the Ketchikan Mortuary chapel at 2 p.m. Thursday for Thomas Hanbury, 81, one of the original migrants to Metlakatla, who died at the Ketchikan General hospital yesterday after a 10-day illness. He had just returned from a pleasant visit with two daughters and a son in Seattle when he became ill. Hanbury was born in Old Metlakatla, B.C., March 15, 1872. He came to Alaska with Fr. William Duncan and the original settlers of Metlakatla but had spent most of his adult life in Ketchikan. His first wife, the former Annie Leask, bore him two children and his second, who died in Ketchikan in 1930, bore them nine children. Hanbury was the first settler in Metlakatla to take U.S. citizenship papers, when he was living in Seattle. A member of the band at Carlisle institute and long-time friend of the late athletic hero, Jim Thorpe, he was entertained at the White House by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt while in Washington on the fish trap question. He also was mentioned by Eleanor Roosevelt's column, My Day. Hanbury owned four seine boats, the last one being the Sunbeam. He had not fished since fracturing a leg and receiving other injuries in a fall at the sawmill here where he was a night watchman. Children surviving are Mrs. Henry Duncan, Mrs. Bill West, Mrs. Howard Hudson, all of Metlakatla or Annette; Mrs. Pauline Adams, Mrs. Ray Snyder and Thomas Hanbury jr. of Seattle; Wilfred of Ketchikan, and George Kelly, foster son in Port Simpson, B.C. Mrs. Snyder was due by plane today. Eighteen grandchildren also survive. Rev. Wyburn Skidmore of the Methodist church will officiate at the funeral and burial will be alongside his wife in Bayview cemetery. Memorial services will be Wednesday night at 8 at the mortuary chapel.
