- Letter written to the publication "Alaska" by BG Noyes' wife, Lily
Noyes Mountain
As I read Ned Rozell's interesting article "Surrender" in the August issue, the words Noyes Mountain popped out at me. The mountain was named for my husband, Gen. John Rutherford Noyes (1902-1956) in honor of his service to Alaska as commissioner of roads during the '40s. During his administration the first paved roads were built.
Nine members of the Noyes family climbed Noyes Mountain in 1970. We started out at Sportsmen's Paradise. Stormy weather prevented us from reaching the top, but in 1996 our son, Eric, reached the summit with a group of five.
Last year Eric, his wife and I attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a pavilion to be named for John on the campus of the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau. This is in recognition of his effort, in the last years of his life, to have a branch of the university established in Juneau. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall, and we expect to be there for the dedication next summer.
General Noyes was the adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard from 1953 until his death in a National Guard plane crash near Nome in 1956.
Thank you for giving me an exciting moment with your reference to Noyes Mountain.
