• Notes

  From: The History of Colorado, Volume 3 (1919) CHARLES ECKLAND EMERY.  Charles Eckland Emery, a leading photographer of Colorado Springs, was born in Sweden in 1859 and was a young lad of but eight years of age when he came to the United States in 1868. He was largely reared in northern Michigan and acquired a common school education in that state. The year 1880 witnessed his arrival at Silver Cliff, Colorado, at which time he was twenty years of age. He had previously taken up the study of photography and he opened a photographic studio at Silver Cliff, there conducting business until 1885, when he removed to Canon City. Colorado. In 1892 he came to Colorado Springs, where he opened a studio, and in 1901 he erected his present studio at the corner of Cascade avenue and Kiowa street. He there has a splendidly equipped establishment and he employs the latest and most improved processes in photography. His work is of the highest class and his patronage is most liberal.  In June, 1884, in Silver Cliff, Colorado, Mr. Emery was married to Miss Bertha A. Francis, a daughter of Elias R. Francis. She is a native of Maine and became a resident of Silver Cliff in 1881. The children born of this marriage are: Mabel, now the wife of Dr. Asa Z. Hall, of Eaton, Colorado; Charles Francis, who was born in 1893 and who married Miss Eleanor Philips Washburn, of Colorado Springs and is at the present time serving with the rank of second lieutenant of Artillery at Camp Lewis, Washington; Dorothy; Ralph Waldo, who was born December 25, 1901; and Franklin Hall, born in 1908.  In his political views Mr. Emery is a republican and he keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day. He holds membership in the Winter Night Club and both he and his wife are members of the First Baptist church, in which he is serving as a trustee. Mrs. Emery also takes a most active and prominent part in church work and in other public activities which look to the benefit and welfare of the section in which she resides.
