Grand Canyon Pioneers Society - Photo Archives

The following samples from the Grand Canyon Pioneers Society's photo archive collection represent only a small portion of that collection. The complete collection is housed with the Special Collections and Archives department of the Cline Library at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Eddie Alvin Newman, born in 1900, was a Grand Canyon resident and employee of the Santa Fe Railway during the 1920's and 1930's. The photographs in this collection were from his personal album, and many are attributed to him as the photographer. Mr. Newman and his wife, Edna Greening, later moved to Ash Fork, Arizona where he was employed as a telegraph operator by the Santa Fe Railway. Mr. Newman died on his birthday, August 20, in 1952 in Ash Fork. Both he and his wife are buried in the Williams, Arizona cemetery.
