Greely, Clyda Schott.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schott and daughter Clyda lived many years in Alaska. Louis went to Wrangell in 1887 to operate R.D. Hume's Cannery with Bob Bell. When the Alaska Packer's Association organized in 1890 or 1891, Louis Schott went to work for them as superintendent at Karluk, Alaska until 1908 and then to Alitak on Kodiak Island. In 1911 he returned to Wrangell as superintendent of the Point Highfield Cannery. He worked for APA until his death in Wrangell in 1926. The photographs were collected during these years in Alaska. Clyda Schott Greely received many photographs from J.E. Thwaites, a photographer and family friend. Some of the photographs include his notes to her.
