Douglas Cemetery Practices

Laura McCarley, author of Treadwell, Alaska, reports that blanket burials in unmarked graves were the standard practice of the mining companies in the early years of the Treadwell and Douglas mining communities.

McCarley also notes that the newer Douglas Cemetery, likely the City Cemetery, was laid out in organized 20-by-20-foot plots with streets and alleyways between the burial sections.

A German cabinet maker and hardware merchant, John Feusi, entered the undertaking business in Douglas. Tombstones for the cemetery were reportedly carved from Tolkeen marble by Frank Weaver, a partially blind Tlingit man from Taku Village.
