About six months after Jack's death, little Possum, the dog they bought in Baltimore in 1912 before sailing on the Dirigo, was found drowned in the WolfHouse reflection pool and he was buried near the same rock.

September 29, 2023 Eliza, Jack's faithful stepsister and ranch superintendent dies in Jack's room at the cottage; victim of a second heart attack at the age of 71; her ashes are spread on the little knoll near Jack's grave.

After Charmian passed away on January 14, 1955, at the age of 84, she was cremated and her ashes were placed under the same boulder in a separate container. She left word that this not be made public but, by mistake, the information was put in a State Park pamphlet and is no longer a secret.

“Jack London's death caused great sorrow among his colleagues and friends. Most prestigious newspapers written in English, including the British Times, published articles on London.

Obituaries on the great writer's death appeared in French and British publications, as well as in Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Russia. As I found out later, there was not one newspaper in the United States that did not somehow respond to London's death. Over 100 different newspapers and magazines published articles about Jack London. "The most alive of all people has died," wrote the San Francisco Bulletin. "A man of thousands of lives," said People Magazine. "There is no death for people like him," pronounced a woman's magazine, Every Woman. "He came from the working class," proudly noted the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. "London's success was built by hard labor," mentioned the San Francisco Examiner. "Socialists will always remember Jack London," claimed the Oakland Tribune.

The California Writers' Club gave a highly favorable comment on the talent and personal qualities of the writer. The famous magazine Nation gave an analysis of Jack London's achievements as the author of Martin Eden, which assured a special place for him in American literary heritage. The Current Opinion magazine published an article entitled: "The Great Contribution of Jack London to American Literature." "Jack London---titanic," stated the American magazine, Dial, "he is honored in Russia as a mighty prophet." Yes, in the far-away land of Russia, the news of the death of the famous American writer came not only through the major newspapers of Petersburg and Moscow, but also through the publications in Kishinev, Astrakhan, Rostov-on-the Don, Odessa, Tyflis. He was well-known and loved there. The tragic news of his death was painful to London's fans all over the world.”
