2:25 Belle Buford Thom Collins Speaking

This is Belle Buford Thom Collins, born in 1878, speaking about her childhood in 1880s Los Angeles. Her father, Cameron E. Thom, was the Mayor of Los Angeles between 1882 and 1884. Mrs. Collins' niece, Rowena, is the person speaking in the beginning of the recording. Audio has been remastered. This was recorded on November 26, 1964. The original tape contained several gaps, so some areas begin in mid-sentence. All photographs are of early Los Angeles, between the 1870s to the late 1890s.
