Parry Brothers Stone Quarry - Manti, Utah
Here is a photo of the Parry Brother Stone Quarry workers in action. The photo was donated by my dad's cousin, Janet Parry Kubin (thank you, Janet!) We logically assume that the three men pictured are the Parry brothers, Edward Thomas Parry (1859-1938), John Lloyd Parry (1864-1916), and Bernard Parry (1873-1940). In the background one can see the derrick used to move the immense stones onto the train. The photo was taken in approximately 1912. Attributed to the West Coast Art Company of Los Angeles, California. The original photo measures roughly 24" x 10".
