"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
