Biography
Henry Alheidt was a charter member of the Juneau Men’s Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska.
Alheidt was born in Germany in June 1863. He immigrated to the United States in 1881 and later came to Juneau, Alaska, in 1900.
Like many early residents of the region, Alheidt worked as a prospector in several developing mining districts. In the 1910 United States Federal Census, he was listed as prospecting in the Cordova area. By the time of the 1920 census, he was working in the Kennecott Mining District, one of Alaska’s most significant copper mining regions.
