Body of E. A. Spencer Found Near Glacier Trail
Edward A. Spencer, a timekeeper for the Alaska Central, was found dead face down along a slope above the glacier near mile 53. He left camp 52 at dusk on November 16, 1905 and wandered the glacier in darkness, freezing to death after a long exposure. The body, though decomposed, was identifiable by clothing and pack. He had warned by Walter Jones of danger earlier that evening. The incident followed a string of misfortunes among travelers from San Francisco aboard the ill fated steamer Valencia and reflected broader tragedy in Seward.
