Dalton family photo

 

Photo shared by P. Rosas, 2015. Dalton family about 1890.

Above is another photo from the University of Arizona Special Collections, sent to me by Vasquez-Suastegui researcher P. Rosas in 2015, this time showing the family of Winnall Dalton and Maria Jesus Francesca Vasquez. From left to right, Hortense Dalton (Ronstadt), Winnall Dalton, Henry A. Dalton (little boy), Natalie Dalton, Maria Jesus Francesca Vasquez, Guadelupe "Lupe" Dalton (Ronstadt).

My next focus is on 3rd-daughter Natalie, who has previously been featured in articles with her talented cousin, Anita Calneh Post. She was born on 21 September 1886 in Tucson.

Ancestry. 1910 US Census. Tucson, Arizona.

In the 1913 City Directory for Tucson, Natalie was listed as a "comptometrist", working in her father's carriage shop. She operated a mechanical calculator, keeping the books and financial records for the family business. By the 1918 City Directory, Natalie had become the Deputy Treasurer for Pima County. I'll pick up more of Natalie's fascinating journey in the next post.
