Wiklund, 96, died Aug. 26 at Seward General Hospital. At his request, no formal funeral was held. His cremated ashes were spread on a mountain near Seward. Mr. Wiklund was born Sept. 23, 1897, in Sweden, immigrating to the United States in 1923. He worked in the logging industry in the Pacific Northwest and was a bridge carpenter on the original Grants Pass Highway between Oregon and California. Mr. Wiklund moved to Seward in 1926 and became a naturalized citizen on June 16, 1932. A meticulous carpenter, he was involved in many construction projects in Seward, Anchorage, Kodiak and the Matanuska Valley, his family said. When the colonists settled in the Valley, he helped build homes and out- buildings for the new farming community. He worked in Kodiak on the naval base construction project and was there when World War II broke out. Mr. Wiklund worked for Anchorage pioneer Oscar Anderson on various projects. He was a member of the Carpenters Union for 56 years. He enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid sportsman. He was always involved in a fall moose hunt, deer hunting on Montague Island and ice fishing on lakes around the Kenai Peninsula. He enjoyed picking berries in the fall, hiked most trail systems on the Kenai Peninsula, and told of skiing between Moose Pass and Cooper Landing before the road was constructed. He was involved in early day mining ventures and worked on some of the original roads around Seward. He moved to Wesley Nursing Home in Seward in June 1992. His family said: "Aron was a quiet, very private man, who shared his life experiences with only those closest to him." Mr. Wiklund is survived by many longtime friends; many nieces and nephews in Sweden, including Kerstin Andersson Lockhart, Margit Speijer, Erik Andersson and Sven Andersson; and close friend, Margaret Anderson of Seward.
