Scope and Contents

Fred is a half brother of Jimmy and Sidney Huntington. Jacob, on the left in the sailor hat, was I believe, Edith's brother. He was not one of their children. Their daughter Lucy had been drowned the summer before and so Fred had stopped going to Hog River to work in the summer. He was a janitor at the school for years.

Biographical / Historical

Slides #15 – 38 are of family groups around Huslia in September of 1962. The young people who were the first group of students to go to high school were getting ready to leave town and we wanted pictures of them with their families so everyone could have a copy of the photos. This was a very traumatic as well as exciting time for the families. Life would never be the same for any of them and they knew it. It was a time of mourning for many parents. I have arranged the families alphabetically as the most useful way to organize them.
