Biographical Note
Urban Pope Hadley was born on December 19, 1852 in Machias, Maine.
Hadley married Harriet (Hattie) Florence Collette, a young schoolteacher from
Vermont. Having been disinherited by his mother, who had wanted him to marry a
"society girl," Hadley moved west, traveling in his horse and buggy and taking
photographs that he hoped to be able to sell.
The Hadleys lived in Minnesota in the early 1880s, where their two
sons were born, George in 1879, and Wallis in 1883. The family moved to Tacoma
in 1884 and then on to Napavine where they lived for some time on a large ranch
near Hattie's father. Hadley, however, couldn't support the mortgage on their
new home, and after a few years in Napavine the Hadleys moved to Lynden, where
Hadley set up a photo studio. Hattie, who had also become skilled at
photography, helped out in the studio, enabling Hadley to run a small real
estate business from the same location.
Later, Hadley relocated his business to Wickersham, where he lived
until his death in October 1911.
Content Description
The collection contains a number of portraits of individuals and
groups, some of whom appear to be members of Hadley's family; Hadley's wife
Hattie is identified or recognizable in several of the portraits. The portraits
are largely undated, as are several landscapes and town views. Images of
logging operations depict Larson Lumber Company in Bellingham, Van Horn Lumber
in Orting and Crofford Brothers Lumber Plant in Mountain View, Washington,
circa 1900.
The photographs also include individual and group portraits of
Nooksack Indians.
Administrative Information
