Marion was not the mother of Jimmy's children. Their mother was Flora, daughter of Mary Vent and sister of Catherine Attla and Little Sophie Sam. Jimmy had older daughters, Virginia and Josephine. Jimmy ran a store in Huslia which had a generator that supplied minimum electricity to the town (one light bulb per house) on a limited schedule. He was a very able man and wrote a book that was included in Reader's Digest, On the Edge of Nowhere. Jimmy's father, Old Man Huntington, was a white man with English roots who married an Athabascan and lived with her at Cutoff. He trapped and traded. Jimmy, his brother Sidney, and at least one sister lived for awhile at the mission school in Anvik, run by the Rev. Henry Chapman after the death of their mother. Margaret Murie's book, Two in the Far North, recalls a glimpse of these children in their doorway at Cutoff as the Murie's traveled downriver. Jimmy died this past winter (1987 88). I believe there will be a big potlach for him in Huslia this fall (1988). He served at least one term in the Alaska Legislature.
