Description	Photographic portrait of J. D. Black and Yetta Foorman, Bishop, California residents. Both persons are dressed in formal attire. Yetta Foorman wears a large-brimmed hat adorned with veiling and ostrich plumes. Title supplied by cataloger.
Historical Background	Yetta Foorman lived in Bishop, California, where she attended the Bishop Grade School, around 1900. A Mose H. Foorman and David Foorman also attended the grade school at that date. The Inyo County Register records a Solomon Foorman living in Bishop in 1909. In 1919, the Pioneer Market operated in Bishop, with the Foorman brothers recorded as the owners. Voter registration lists for Inyo County record that a David Foorman lived in Bishop in 1922, with his occupation as stockman. Daughter of Solomon Foorman, Yetta Foorman was born in 1889. She married a Selby Mohr and died in San Francisco in 1949. Death records reveal that a David Foorman died in Los Angeles in 1961 and was born in 1886; and that a Mose H. Foorman, with a birth date of 1891, died there in 1952. These men were the two brothers from Bishop, and operated the California Meat Packers in Los Angeles. Son of John Black, J. D. (John David) Black (1893-1960), also known as Jack, was a resident of both Big Pine and Bishop, California, during his lifetime. He operated stores in both towns and had some mining interests. He was a leader in the fight of Big Pine for reparations from the City of Los Angeles during the Owens Valley Water Controversy, of the 1920s. His wife was Sophie Louise Black (1895-1989), nee Staudinger; the couple had three daughters.
