Blount family photographs

Abstract:

Chiefly studio portraits of the George Blount family of Illinois, Scottsdale Ariz., and Highland Park Calif., and their relatives. Includes photographs of George Blount from a boyhood daguerreotype to his retirement (ca. 1910) from a career as school principal. Includes one tinted salted paper print (ca. 1859?) of Blount's brother, James G. Blount, whose Civil War diary is present in the George B. McFarland papers. Also present are many portraits of George Blount's wife (Alza Karr Blount), children, and extended family. Many relatives have surname Karr or Lynd, with a few named Jackson and Bliss. Of note are several photos of boys with cows and horses in Scottsdale, Ariz., ca. 1900, and snapshots of a family home in Highland Park, Calif., ca. 1920.
