Here are a few images from the same "Theresa Sletton-album that might be of interest to city folk. The descriptions are sparse, but maybe enough to lead somewhere definitive. I include all of these diverse photos because maybe there are some dots that can be connected from the collection. There are one or two images that are clearly from a later period, probably the '30. There are a few newspaper clippings, post WWI. http://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/compou...coll2/id/16487

Lest I forget, this album is part of the Marquez collection, also mentioned on NLA before. http://www.huntington.org/WebAssets/....aspx?id=22977




"Old house on 5th Street" (No apparent drought here.)




Lapel flower probably suggests a special day.





Garapatos School steps. Topanga




The inscription is almost as interesting as the image.

Prison labor being used for road construction?




In honor of Mothers Day




General Store, Post Office, Topanga. (When enlarged "Topanga Post Office" is visible above "GROCERIES.")






The Luther Ranch, Springtime. The white specs to the right are not tombstones. As indicated by other images and text in the collection, they are bee hives.



Mrs. Luther, standing. Bertha Melcher and sister Josie, sitting.




At the risk of being pilloried for too many images, here's one more of the road. I do not recognize it, and there were "Summits" in Santa Cruz, El Cajon, San Diego and possibly Topanga.
