Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of H. H. West standing in a field at the edge of town during a visit to Yreka. He stands in the near distance, left-of-center. His arms hang by his sides as he faces slightly right. H. H. stands on flat ground that stretches behind him. Further back, a fence stretches across the image. Trees extend into the distance beyond the fence and mountains rise in the far distance at right. Text from negative sleeve: 1340. Yreka, California, 1898. One of father's old associates named Peter Vertrees, who came out from Illinois on the same covered wagon train as father did xxx died of consumption at Yreka and was buried in the cemetery just east of town. We went out to see if we could find the grave. Could not find it. Little late in the day but I took a photo of the cemetery. 1. Yreka cemetery east of town. 2. An abandoned house on the outskirts of town. A nice big house with all windows broken out, doors off and a wrack and ruin. 3. Father took my picture at the edge of Yreka. 3 films
