Collection Overview
Title:
[Shattuck and Swett family portrait album]Abstract:
Chiefly family portraits on cartes de visite mounts. Names noted are "Grandma Shattuck", Dr. [John Langdon] Swett (1810-1900)
of New Hampshire, his wives and relations named Elizabeth Kimball, Rebecca Beaman (or her parents), and Lizzie Shattuck. This
collection of portraits apparently is centered around Dr. J.L. Swett's daughter, Frances Mary (Swett) Shattuck (1843-1925)
who married Charles Curtis Shattuck (1842-1928) and died in San Francisco. Charles and Frances Shattuck are, presumably, the
pair identified in the album as "Grandpa and Grandma Shattuck". They came to California by 1868. Shattuck was a GAR member
and Civil War veteran, and the album includes a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant and family.
