This keepsake photograph of Mervin Reynolds and Wayne Elliott Watrous was taken in front of the family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Their father Everest Elliott Watrous and mother Mary Maria Jenkins, and other family members worked at mining in the canyon and lived there until the children were ready to go to school. After that time they spent summers at the cabin. It was located in the area now known as The Spruces and was near the family mine which was later incorporated as the Cottonwood Metals Mining Company. Direct ancestor Everest Raymond Watrous was a baby at the time these photographs were taken. He is found on this site in photographs taken on the same day.
