Grand Canyon Historical Society Greenlaw Photo Collection Don Gray, the grandson of Charles A. Greenlaw Jr. and Clara Greenlaw (both now deceased), provided these pictures under the condition that they are not to be used for profit under any circumstances. They are meant to be shared, viewed and enjoyed by all who wish to do so. All of the photos (with the exception of those in the folders "Greenlaw Lumber Mill") were inherited by Don and were the former property of Charles A. Greenlaw Jr. and his wife Clara Greenlaw. Don believes (but cannot be certain) all the photos were taken over the years from 1913 to 1940s as indicated by notations (made by Clara Greenlaw) and information in some photos (vehicle license plates). He encourages any who may see these photos to enjoy them and if possible contact him with any additional information regarding the content, identity of individuals, locations or other information about the photos. Charles A. Greenlaw Sr. (born January 22, 1855) worked at the Edward Ayer lumber mill from June 1882 (when he first moved into Flagstaff) until it became the Arizona Lumber Company (bought by Denis Matthew Riordan) in June 1887. The mill burned down on July 16, 1887, and records show that Charles Greenlaw Sr. and his brother E. F. Greenlaw were running the operation at that time under contract with D. M. Riordan. The mill was quickly rebuilt and upgraded. The Greenlaw brothers continued working in the lumber mill and later started their own mill in what was then known as Cliffs, Arizona. Charles Sr. married Ella Lamport on September 7, 1883, and they had six children (including Charles Jr., born May 7, 1892). Charles Sr. died after suffering a stroke in Phoenix in 1920. In 1913, Charles A. Greenlaw Jr. met Clara Stork (born Dec 13,1892) while she worked as a Harvey Girl at the Harvey House in Seligman, Arizona. They married January 1, 1917, and lived at the Greenlaw Ranch in Flagstaff where their two daughters (Dorothy and Aleene) were born. About 1924, the family moved to San Pedro, California where Charles Jr. worked for the Hammond Lumber Company. About 1930, he took a position with a lumber company in Brazil where he spent seven years with his family. His daughter Dorothy (my mother) returned to the U.S. in 1936 to attend Flagstaff State Teachers College (later Northern Arizona University) after finishing her high school in Brazil. She graduated from the college in 1940 and later taught at elementary schools in Kentucky and California. She died November 6, 2001, in Los Alimitos, California. Charles Jr. traveled a great deal during his life and took many photos of his adventures. He was living in California during the final years of his life and died in 1974. His wife Clara died in 1979.   1914 Michaelson Greenlaw Family Relations Canyon Padre Cars Flagstaff Grand Canyon Greenlaw Lumber Mill Little Colorado River Tolchaco Seligman Turkey Tank other See more Grand Canyon photos and other Greenlaw family photos at Greenlaw WebShots, by Don Gray.
