In due time…..when I shall have paid the debt of Nature, my remains will rest here in your midst with those of my kindred and neighbors. It is possible they may be unhonored, neglected, spurned! But, perhaps, years hence …..some wandering stranger, some lone exile may erect over them a humble stone, and thereon, this epitaph, “He was Faithful.”
Alaska Flag Painting by Benny Benson
c. 1959
Framed Alaskan flag with hand painted gold decoration and a signature of Benny Benson, Alaskan native and flag designer. Includes an black and white photograph of Benson. Was a gift to the Seward House Museum from Benny Benson when he visited the Museum in 1960.
