"J. T. Boysen Summoned

Julius T. Boysen, who for 40 years has been a resident and photographer of
Yosemite Valley, died at Sacramento Monday of this week following a lengthy
illness.  He was 70 years of age.

Mr. Boysen was born in San Francisco and went to Yosemite in 1900 where he
operated a photographic studio up until the time of his death.  He had become
proficient in his work and he spent much of his time making choice photographs
of the various scenes in the entire park.

His work started in a little studio in the old village when the annual number of
visitors to the park was from 5000 to 6000 and when the park concessions were
granted under state supervision.  In later years when the park was transferred
to the Federal Government his business was enlarged and moved to new quarters in
the new village on the north side of the valley.

In his work, Mr. Boysen had met and photographed men and women of all nations
and of all ranks from the natives of the park to presidents and nobility from
every country.

Surviving him are his widow Mrs. Mabel S. Boysen; a daughter, Mrs. Arthur St.
Clair, Sacramento; two sisters, Miss Theresa Boysen and Mrs. Emily Vale, both of
San Francisco and two granddaughters.

Funeral rites are to be held this Thursday afternoon at 3:30 at the Tiscornia,
Ivers and Alcorn Funeral Home with interment to follow in the Masonic Cemetery.
 The services will be under the auspices of the Mariposa Masonic Lodge of which
he was a member." END

[NOTE: The exact same notice appears in the following issue of Thursday, June 8,
1939 on page five, column 6 with the following added at the end: "The body was
removed to Merced for cremation.  The ashes will be returned to Mariposa and
