Biographical
Juliane Nick was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1902. Her parents, Peter and Brigitta, emigrated to America (Ellis Island) with their four children (Maria, Otto, Julian, and Hedwig) in 1907. After several failed attempts at making money, Peter came to Alaska in search of gold. The family arrived in Juneau in June 1908. He soon moved to Douglas City and began working as a photographer and selling pictures for Juneau photographer, William H. Case.
Juliane married Gregory Dexter and lived in California where they owned a resort in the mountains for 20 years, retiring to a small farm in Vista, California.
