All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************ BARTLETT, MRS. J. W. (9 Oct 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK): Phil Sollers who left here a few years ago for Alaska, returned last Friday. He was employed on a government trail there. His purpose is to return in a few months. His nephew, Ed Bartlet (sic) is with him and will return with his uncle. The death of Mr. Sollers' sister, Mrs. J. W. Bartlett at Valdez, Alaska, and bringing the body to Seattle, Washington, for interment is the occasion of their visit to this country. They are well pleased with their residence in Alaska, hence their return after the lapse of time of their visit. Phil is a son of Isaac Sollers so well known here as a mail route contractor in early days.
