This keepsake photograph shows Everest Elliott Watrous on the left, an unknown man in the middle and a man we believe to be Henry Reynolds Watrous. Henry is Everest’s father. Since Henry died in 1923 this photograph was taken before then. Taken in about 1921, Everest would have been in his late thirties. For the last three years of his life, Henry Reynolds Watrous lived in a mining camp in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. When Henry became ill with the complications of skin cancer on his face, he left the canyon and lived with Everest and his family until his death in 1923.
