W. Elmer Ekblaw (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Walter Elmer Ekblaw (1882-1949), midwestern geology professor, taught at the University of Illinois, 1910-1913. Is credited as the founder of Homecoming festivities at the University. Ekblaw was on the same 1913 Arctic expedition as Maurice Tanquary (seen in a recent Flickr Commons upload): Nice article about the expedition, with more photos of Ekblaw and Tanquary: www.uiaa.org/urbana/illinoisalumni/0801b.html

• Brett Carnell said:

  pennylrichardsca: Thanks for the information. It looks (after some rotating and flipping) as though the date on the negative is June 27, 1913. Mr. Ekblaw, as part of the Crocker Land Expedition, left from New York on July 2, 1913. (Dates on the negatives can be mysterious but likely do indicate when the photo was used.)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Josephine Diebitsch Peary (1863-1955), the wife of Admiral Robert E. Peary (1856-1920), the Arctic explorer, accompanied her husband on some of his adventures in the north of Greenland, and wrote about her journeys in several books (My Arctic Journal, The Snow Baby). In 1901, she gave birth to her daughter Marie within a few degrees of the North Pole. www.bowdoin.edu/arctic-museum/biographies/jpeary.shtml She's buried with the admiral at Arlington Cemetery. www.arlingtoncemetery.net/josephin.htm

  She looks stern enough to have scared a polar bear.

  See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3238481081/ for a photo of the whole family. www.mainememory.net/bin/Detail?ln=28775 is a less stern picture from 1913. www.mainememory.net/bin/Detail?ln=7812 is an earlier photo of the couple.
