“Mr. Maltby was a candidate for

The
obituary of John R. Maltby, in the Dawson
Daily News, stated “John Maltby Passes Away. Death comes after year of
failing health—leaves wife and two sons.”
“After
suffering nearly a year with failing health, John R. Maltby died Saturday night
at his home on Dugas street, of general tuberculosis of the brain. The malady
only hastened his end as he was sinking from the inroads of consumption and
could not have lived much longer.”
“Mr. Maltby
came to Dawson in 1898 and became well known in this city. Before coming here
he resided at Juneau. The deceased was a native of New Brunswick, where he was
born fifty years ago, but spent the greater part of his life in the West. Until
his health began to fail he was employed in the lumber and milling department
of the Ladue company. Mr. Maltby was among the pioneer members of the Arctic
Brotherhood and was an active worker in the camp.”
“Two years
after his arrival here he was joined by his wife and two sons, Mont and Chard,
who are in the employ of the Northern Commercial company. He also leaves two
brothers, Frank and Edward Maltby, who reside in Dawson.”[93]
The Arctic Brotherhood held an

John
Alfred Montrose Hanson Maltby, who was called variously “Monty,” “Montrose” or “Alfred” Maltby, signed his name “J.A.M.H. Maltby,” and was employed by
the Canadian Government in Dawson City, at which time Dawson City was the
capital of the Yukon Territory. He was first appointed as a clerk and
accountant in the Office of Territorial Treasurer for the Yukon Territory on 1
June 1912, by George Black, of the Conservative Party,[123] who was later to go on to become a member of the
Canadian Parliament. On 13 Aug. 1913 his position was expanded to include administering
oaths, and taking and receiving affidavits, declarations and affirmations.[124] He was appointed as Assistant Territorial
Treasurer by George Black on 5 Dec. 1914, and two days later as Acting
Territorial Treasurer and Acting Territorial Secretary, with the added
responsibility of issuing marriage licenses.[125] On 16 Sept. 1916 George Black appointed him

Dawson Daily News ran a large
front-page article about the accident on May 26, 1919, headlined: “Fatal
Accident Occurs on Hunker Creek—Mrs. Monty Maltby is Dead, and Little Son Hurt
Seriously—Others Narrowly Escape—Gold Commissioner Slightly Injured—Car Went
Over Bank.” The article is 4 columns long, too lengthy to include here, but an
excerpt from the article demonstrated her nature and the tragedy of the loss: “Her many sterling qualities and her devotion
to her family had won for her the love and admiration of everyone who had the
pleasure of knowing her. She was untiring in her service to her home and her
wonderful capabilities as a mother, her devotion to her husband, and her sunny
disposition were a matter of constant pleasure to those who knew her and her
life. That she was called in the hour when her young and noble womanhood was of
such service in the raising of her beautiful children, and when life yet had
many years of promise for her, makes the loss all the more to be felt.”[132]

with the Yukon government, effective 30 June 1926,[140] and moved the family to Santa Monica, California,

allowance from the Yukon Government, which was probably never approved, based
