Administrative/Biographical History:
By 1911, when the Alaska Northern Railway folded, it had become clear to many that a
railroad line from the coast to the interior of Alaska could not be built without federal
involvement. Studies over several years looked at the viability of various port towns as
termini, including Valdez, Cordova, Katalla, Portage Bay, and Seward. Sewardites were hopeful
that the town would be chosen as the headquarters of the Alaska Railroad, and as planning
progressed, the town experienced a boom in real estate development. In March 1914, shortly
after President Woodrow Wilson signed the Alaska Railroad bill, the real estate firm of Romig
& Romig was established.1 In June 1914, when the Alaska Engineering Commission arrived in
Seward to begin its work, the Fred Laubner homestead was purchased for $30,000 and platted
as the Laubner Addition by Robert Ashland. Shortly afterward, Joseph E. Johnson purchased
the northern half of the Edmund Rudolph homestead, and platted it as the Bay View

Addition.2 Promotional material for the lots reflected the residents’ hopes: “The prospects of
Seward being the Ocean Terminal is pretty good proof that right now is the time to get a good
lot in Bay View Addition.” In April 1915, Seward was formally chosen as a terminus for the
Alaska Railroad, and the town boomed. By July, however, the editor of The Seward Gateway
was complaining about “favoritism” in the Alaska Railroad’s development of a town site on
Ship Creek called Anchorage; on November 17, the A.E.C. announced the relocation of the
railroad headquarters from Seward to Anchorage.3

Fred B. Wood came to Seward sometime prior to 1915 and joined J. H. Romig’s real estate
business. He also apparently ran a morgue there. He operated Wood Undertaking Company in
Anchorage from 1915-1917 and 1919-1920; in 1918, he appears in Latouche, Alaska, with the
Kennecott Copper Corporation. Wood’s wife served as assistant postmaster in Seward; she left
her position in 1920 to join her husband in California.4 The Woods apparently lived in
California for the rest of their lives.

Scope and Content Description:
The collection consists of photographs, deeds, correspondence, maps, ephemera, and a ledger
of funeral records created and/or collected by Fred B. Wood. The materials primarily pertain
to the history of Seward and Anchorage, Alaska, during the early development of the Alaska
Railroad, 1915-1920. Also included are some tourist brochures from the 1930s-1950s. The
images in a small photograph album are not of Alaska and are possibly of Montana scenes,
including a visit by Theodore Roosevelt.

Arrangement: Arranged by format, then by subject and further chronologically. 1.
Photographs. 2. Manuscript materials. 3. Publications. 4. Funeral ledger.
