Biographical note: Joel and Alice K. Huntsman moved to Tucson in 1900 where Joel operated the Huntsman-Hotchkiss Overland Company, an automobile dealership. He also formed the Dos Cabezas Gold Ridge Mining Company. The family built a home at the corner of Speedway and Warren in 1905, and a cabin on Mount Lemmon in 1908. They had two daughters, Nancy and Alice D. Nancy married Edward Breazeale in 1942. Edward worked as an agricultural chemist and later opened his own business, the Arizona Serological Laboratories. He was an early member of the Tucson Symphony and formed a marimba band in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Edward's father, James, was a soil scientist who worked at the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station from 1925 to 1943.
