Biography

Cora Cleveland Malony moved to Juneau, Alaska, in 1895. She had previously lived in Bryan, Ohio, and Bellingham, Washington.

Cora, some twenty-five years younger than John Malony, had an independent streak of her own and established a hat shop in Juneau.

She married John Malony in Juneau, and on December 29, 1899, she gave birth to their son, John Malony, Jr.

A residence was later constructed in downtown Juneau for Bart Thane’s Alaska Gastineau mine. Much to Cora’s disappointment, as she had hoped to live in the house, it was sold. The residence later became known as the Wickersham House.

Cora Cleveland Malony died in 1967 at the age of eighty-five.
