Coming to Petersburg In the year of 1905, Jacob Hadland is among the pioneers who helped in the building of our present community. In the year of 1907, he built the Grand Cafe Building which was one of the first business buildings built in the town. The building was at that time used as a saloon and if this building was able to portray some of the scenes that have taken place in front of the bar. It would be a story worth listening to for anyone who likes to listen to adventure and excitement. The year before' constructing this building Mr. Hadland built the house which is now occupied by Mrs. Nick Martinsen. In the year 1908 he helped start the work on building the "Fisherman's Home" which is now operated by the American Legion.
Mr. Hadland states that the first gas boat in Petersburg was "Sport" which is now owned by Jacob Brenvick and is still running. The hull was built here and the engine was shipped from Seattle. Mr. Hadland laid the foundation for the present Sons of Norway Hall the year of 1908. During the early days, before the power boat, fishing was done with the seine in the water and then by "drift seining", or drifting with the tide. Mr. Hadland says that he was the first man to fish in the open waters with a drift net from the Stikine to Petersburg which was in the year of 1907.

One of Petersburg's inhabitants, Jacob Hadland, 87 years of age, this week passed away from complication of ailments. Jack, as he was known to all of Petersburg, had been in ill health for several months past.
Jacob Hadland, who was born in Egersund, Norway, first came to Petersburg in 1905. Mr. Hadland had previously spent many of his youthful years as a sailor and would often recount to less experience listeners the vast experiences he had had when sailing was a truly rugged way for a man to earn a living.
After living in Bayfield Wisconsin, Jack moved to Alaska. With a short stop in Ketchikan he then decided to settle in Petersburg where friends from the old country preceded him. Soon after the arrival here the young newcomer acquired the first gas driven boat to be seen in the waters of Petersburg.
After many years at fishing, and as an owner of a local business, Mr. Hadland and his wife Lulu, whom he married in 1930, decided to undertake a fox farm on Monte Carlo Island, after a short time there the Hadlands moved to Keene Island for more of the same farming, but were forced to return to Petersburg after Mr. Hadlands health had begun to fail.
The Hadlands had lived the last several years in a home near Mr. Hadlands niece, Mrs. Andrew Heimdahl. It was in this home Mr. Hadland died this week. Funeral services were held Tuesday of this week with burial in the Petersburg Cemetery.
Mr. Hadland is survived by his wife, a son John of Long Beach California, 2 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren.
