Biography - John S. Seatter

Born in England in 1845, Seatter was said to have started prospecting in 1878. His name does not appear in local mining records before 1895, however, and it is probable that he arrived in Juneau not long before that year. He died at Juneau on July 14, 1913.

Seatter Street - a residential street in the northwestern part of Juneau, adjoining Evergreen Cemetery. Named for John S. Seatter, who staked a placer mining claim in that area in 1895. The claim, which included a part of the present cemetery, was found by the land office to be non-mineral in character and Seatter homesteaded and farmed a portion of his original claim.
