In 1895, the Superintendent
of Education for the Territory of Alaska (Sheldon Jackson) sent a teacher
named Agnes Louisa Sowle* to
teach in Alaska. When Agnes found herself caring for orphaned children in
the remote Aleut village of Unalaska, she wrote to her father (Isaac Collins
Sowle) and explained the situation to him. He secured funding for a small
orphanage through the Women's Home Mission Society of the Methodist Church
in Ohio. They named the orphanage the Jesse Lee Children's Home; named
after Jesse Lee (1759-1816) a pioneer Methodist clergyman from Virginia.
To assist Agnes, the mission hired Dr. Albert Warren Newhall, of Massachusetts, as a medical missionary for the school; on 7/6/1898, Agnes Sowle and Albert Newhall were married in Hagaman, New York.
In 1902, Dr. Newhall was appointed as Superintendent of the orphanage. That same year, they had a baby named Chester Albert. In 1903, they had a baby girl named Edith Marguerite. Mrs. Newhall died of a stroke on 8/6/1917. She is buried in the Unalaska City Cemetery next to her baby daughter, she was only 48 years old.
Four years after Agnes died, on 9/27/1921 at Wood Island, Dr. Newhall married Emma Eugenia Superman (census records spell it Supernaw), a matron at the Jesse Lee Home. They moved to Barrow in 1925 where they had a baby boy named Warren Blake Newhall; the baby died at age 4 months.
By the early spring of 1919, everyone assumed the Spanish influenza had skipped Unalaska, however on May 23, 1919, people started getting very sick and a request for emergency help was made. The Coast Guard Cutter UNALGA (headed by Capt. F.E.Dodge), docked at Unalaska the next day.
Dodge inspected the village and wrote the following: "Native population all down and helpless, unable to cook or care for themselves in any way. All teachers and inmates of the Jesse Lee Home sick and helpless, all government school teachers sick and helpless, the people at the jail and A.C.Co. house are sick and helpless, all at the U.S.Naval Radio Station Co. house are sick and helpless..."
The crew of the UNALGA went to work; help came from the ships surgeon and the ships pharmacy. The commissary prepared food, the ships carpenters built coffins and others dug graves. Men from the ship went into homes and built fires, delivered buckets of soup, nursed the sick and carried out the dead. The UNALGA crew continued this life support, night and day, for two full weeks. By June 13th, the epidemic was over; 44 people in Unalaska were dead.
The Spanish influenza of 1918-1919 decimated many Alaska Native villages, leaving hundreds of children without parents. This resulted in overcrowding at the Jesse Lee Children's Home in Unalaska. Dr. Newhall wrote the following letter about the severity of the deadly epidemic:

After the influenza epidemic, the Women's Home Missionary Society had a decision to make. Not only were the orphanage buildings (in Unalaska) aging and in disrepair, but it had become very expensive to transport children and necessary supplies to the remote Aleut village, so they decided to move the orphanage to Seward in 1925. The federal government donated 100 acres on the west side of Resurrection Bay for the project; it was 1½ miles north west of downtown Seward.
The main orphanage buildings were originally designed by Stanley Shaw a Washington architect. A local contractor named John Holm built them; Charles Lechner did the plumbing and heating and Gerhard Johnson did all of the plaster and stucco. The first superintendents were Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Hatton.
Jewel Guard Hall and Goode Hall were built first. Jewel Guard Hall housed a workshop, vocational training classrooms, a photographic dark room, class rooms, a library, a chapel and a gymnasium. Goode Hall held a dormitory and administrative offices; the two buildings were about 200' apart.
Next came the Balto Building which housed the main dining hall, kitchen and food storage. It was named in honor of a sled dog that led the final leg of the 1925 diphtheria antitoxin run to Nome. The Balto Building sat between Jewel Guard Hall and Goode Hall and was a 2 story building with a full basement.
The orphanage housed an average of 120 children between the age of 1st and 8th grade. The children were given basic educational classes and taught a variety of life skills. They took care of farm animals (8 cows, 21 pigs, 150 chickens and 12 milk goats) and learned how to do laundry, tend a garden, preserve fish and berries, carpentry skills, shoe repair and rug making. The boys also dug a 1/2 mile of sewer line for the school.
On 7/9/1927, the official flag of Alaska was raised for the 1st time at the Jesse Lee Orphanage. The guest of honor was 13 year old Bennie Benson, the designer of the flag (and a student at the Orphanage).

During World War II, the orphanage was evacuated and the children were sent to a boarding school at Eklutna. The orphanage buildings in Seward were painted a camouflage color in case of an attack and a large military tent city was set up on the grounds, it was called Fort Raymond.

In 1946, the Jesse Lee Home re-opened. In 1964, an earthquake damaged the orphanage buildings and the children were permanently relocated to Anchorage.

In 1970, the business
end of the Jesse Lee Children's Home merged with the Lutheran
Youth Center and the Anchorage Christian Children's Home. The new
name for the merged businesses was Alaska Children's Services.
To assist Agnes, the mission hired Dr. Albert Warren Newhall, of Massachusetts, as a medical missionary for the school; on 7/6/1898, Agnes Sowle and Albert Newhall were married in Hagaman, New York.
In 1902, Dr. Newhall was appointed as Superintendent of the orphanage. That same year, they had a baby named Chester Albert. In 1903, they had a baby girl named Edith Marguerite.

The Spanish influenza of 1918-1919 decimated many Alaska Native villages, leaving hundreds of children without parents. This resulted in overcrowding at the Jesse Lee Children's Home in Unalaska. Dr. Newhall wrote the following letter about the severity of the deadly epidemic:
"The years 1918 and 1919
will long be remembered as the time when the "flu" came to Alaska, although
it made a passing visit to places missed on the first round. It came to
Unalaska in the spring when one of the boats came from the States and in
less than 2 days, all the village was laid low. The doctor was among
the first victims and at the Jesse Lee Home, 75 were laid low, all
except 2 boys and 1 girl. Out of a population of 300 in the village
proper, 45 died in less than 10 days, but in the orphanage, only 1
teacher and 1 girl passed away."
"In the Bristol Bay region,
whole villages were devastated and in one place, every person
had died while the ferocious dogs, having finished their ghoulish
work, ran wild. A relief vessel came to that place and the
sailors had to shoot the dogs before they could enter the village,
a desolate place indeed and only half gnawed bones lying about on
the ground told the story."
"In another settlement, whole families were found dead in the houses. In one home, a mother was found dead upon the bed, while upon her breast was a little baby that had died from starvation. A woman went in to one house and found the mother lying on the bed, life was extinct and close beside her, a little baby still living but emaciated, weak and trying to get some nourishment from its mother. Dead bodies were pulled out of houses, rolled in blankets and disposed of."

Dead bodies were pulled out of houses, rolled in blankets and disposed of."
"In the Eskimo village across
Snake River, about all the adults died and more than 100 little
children were left orphans. In order to protect the dead bodies
from dogs, the bodies were piled up in small rooms until no more
could be put in."
"It was the same everywhere, the pestilence spread from place to place and at last drew near to the village of Kinigan. The flu had appeared in a village some 60 miles away from Kinigan and many of those people had died. It was cold weather, bitterly cold with much snow upon the ground. The mail carrier came with his sled and dogs, left his load and then made ready for the journey to Kinigin."
"The mail sacks were placed upon the sled and the dogs restlessly awaited the order to go. Ki-tuk and his companion Tek-tuk were familiar with winter storms. They did not care about the wind that blew so hard or the blizzard that might rage and cover up the path. They both knew no fear and could trust their huskies to carry them through. Ki-tuk and his companion laughed at the storm, but before long, Ki-tuk began to feel sick. His head began to ache and he felt dizzy. All of his bones were aching and he was burning with heat from within, even though it was cold. All of his strength was fast going and he could not sit up to guide the dogs anymore, so he laid down on the mail sacks in his sled. At the next stopping place, Ki-tuk was dead."

"Tek-tuk was now driving
the dogs faster and faster, anxious to reach the next village
where a short stay would be made. His head was dizzy and his bones
were aching. Chills were going up and down his backbone and
he was burning up with fever and could hardly sit up to guide his
load. Once Tek-tuk got to the next village, he stepped off
of the sled, staggered to the house, entered it and a short time later
he died."
"An Eskimo was found who would take the mail on to Kinigin. Since Ki-tuk was from that place, his frozen body was laid on the sled full of mail sacks and the journey was made in due time."

"All of Kinigin was
ill with the flu and none were left to care for the sick. Ad-loo-at
was at Shishmaref, teaching school and helping in mission work.
He had left his wife and children well and happy. Food had been laid
in for them, wood gathered, chopped and stored away for winters use.
Then came a day when he said good-bye and took the trail for his
winters work at Shishmaref."
"One day, a dog sled appeared in Shishmaref and a young man went hastily to the mission house where Ad-loo-at lived. The man told him that everybody was sick at Kinigin and plenty people died. Your wife and all the children are very sick and there is no one to care for them. Friends told Ad-loo-at to stay in Shishmaref so he would not get sick, but he went back to help his family."
"Ad-loo-at found his village deserted, all was still as death, but his family was spared, yet very ill. He worked to save them and little by little they were getting better. A baby was born, but passed away shortly. Ad-loo-at prayed to God for his loved ones and believed that all would come out for the best. He paid the price when the chills, aching bones, fever, and weakness came upon him."

"The superintendent
of schools at Nome heard of the illness in Kinigin and sent Mrs.
E.W.Tashner, a Christian nurse from the Mission Hospital to help them.
She went to Ad-loo-at's home and cared for his family. She bathed his
fevered brow, spoke words of cheer and comfort, however, he died. Ad-loo-at
had done his best, he gave his life for the ones he loved."
