General

The Reverend Pedersen was a minister for the Methodist Episcopal Church in Douglas, Alaska. He served the church in Douglas, Alaska from 1901 until 1905 when he then was appointed to establish a church in Seward. He conducted services in a 20 x 30 foot tent until the church was built. In 1913 he left Seward and served the church in Skagway. His name is listed in the 1917-18 Polk's Alaska Yukon Gazetteer as being associated at the time with the First Presbyterian Church of Skagway. His efforts as a photographer are represented on many postcard views. These views were donated by John Grainger, Ketchikan, May, 1977.
