Obituary from the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner of January 23, 1968:   "Mrs. Gertrude Beitinger of Skagway passed away suddenly of a heart attack the evening of Dec. 3, while sitting in the Sourdough Cafe having a cup of coffee. She seemed in good health and spirits earlier in the evening while having dinner with her daughter and family.   Mrs. Beitinger is one of our older Skagway residents, born in Skagway on Sept. 11, 1906, the daughter of pioneer WP&YR Dispatcher, W.J. Mulvihill. She had lived in Skagway all of her life, was married here 43 years ago to William Beitinger and their five children were also born and received their schooling in Skagway.   Gertrude was a very active citizen - she has been a member of the Library Board for many, many years, most recently serving as chairman, was a charter member of Emblem Club, and Eagle's Auxiliary. She served as Secretary of the Women's Bowling Association for many years also. Since her husband's retirement from the WP&YR she has helped him manage the Sourdough Newstand. There is hardly any area of our community life where she will not be sorely missed.   Mrs. Beitinger is survived by her husband, William Beitinger, sons Donald, of Anchorage, Alaska; C.P.O. Gordon Beitinger on active duty with the U.S. Navy and recently at Imperial Beach, Calif., after returning from a tour of duty in the Far East; Jim Beitinger of Redmond, Washington; daughters Beverly Feero and Barbara Fairbanks, both of Skagway; brothers Harold F. Mulvihill of Skagway and Roy Mulvihill of Seattle; and sister Mrs. Verna Smith of Wenatchee, Washington; and 14 grandchildren.   The funeral has been tentatively set for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 7, in the First Presbyterian Church of Skagway. The family has requested no flowers, preferring the money to be given to charities, especially Mrs. Beitinger's favorite."

In Memory of Charles Black Born in Glasgow Died Feb. 27, 1913 Aged 28 years Erected By his Friends of the C.P.R. Coast SS Co.
