Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Freda M. MacArthur (left) and Emma Barber sit next to each other in wooden chairs. MacArthur wears a light colored short-sleeved dress with dark piping, and a hat. She clutches a pocketbook in her lap and rests her left arm on the chair arm. Barber wears a dark polka-dot dress with flutter sleeves and a hat with flowers on it. Both elbows rest on the chair arms. A pair of gloves rests in her lap. Possibly related to several stories in the Los Angeles Times from July 16-20, 1935 on the death of Juliann Graham (sometimes spelled Julia Graham). She allegedly committed suicide with Ben Reynolds's gun, with whom she was staying, after two earlier attempts with poison. Handwritten on negative sleeve: 1286. Mrs. Freda M. MacArthur; Mrs. Emma Barber ; Julia Graham Suicide 7/15/35 [stamped:] Jul 22 1935
