Another section of images depicts a trip to Missouri with images of a farm and friends' homes. Atkinson visits the coasts of California and Oregon photographing lifeguards practicing drills the Cliff House in San Francisco Newport Beach and Victorian beachgoers lying in the sand. Other photos show interiors of well-to-do homes portraits of friends family pets and a trip to Stanford. Towards the end of the album a train crash near Ashland is seen; another photo shows an arch constructed for a visit by President Roosevelt. Eugenia was the wife of English-born businessman W.H. Atkinson. According to the National Park Service after arriving in Oregon in 1874 Atkinson became â€œactive in the town's principal industrial and banking enterprisesâ€ owning shares in the Ashland Flour Mill and the Ashland Woolen Manufacturing Company. He was one of the founders of the Bank of Ashland and helped organize the Ashland Library. Mr. Atkinson died relatively young at the age of 50 in 1894 and Eugenia spent the next 24 years in the house they had built in Ashland now on the National Registry of Historic Places. A photo dated 1889 shows Eugenia standing in front of her house. This album follows Eugenia during her widowhood during her travels and her activities within the community. A nice collection of photographs compiled by an important Oregon woman at the turn of the century. hardcover
