Swartz family photographs, ca. 1890-1910.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82154597

The collection consists mostly of photographs of the family and friends of Russian immigrant Joseph Swartz, of the Swartz shingle mill near Granite Falls, Wash., and of Everett High School student groups. With the exception of Swartz's wife, Mary Vinshinkof, the individuals in the family photographs are largely unidentified. Many of the family photographs were taken on the grounds of the Swartz family home; others depict groups of people camping, people in automobiles, and posed in comical scenarios, probably in college dorm rooms. Many photographs depict groups of students at Everett High School, including sports teams, orchestra and theater groups, and school classes. Photographs of the Swartz mill depict mill buildings, the log pond, and horse teams pulling shingle bolts. Other pictures of Everett include boats at dock, the water company reservoir, and businesses on a commercial street. A number of the photographs are signed "Swartz" and are presumed to have been taken by Joseph Swartz.
