The Tracy Family History
Saddle Camp
A STORY, MARCH 2008 - Years ago, Grandma told me the story of the
family photo on the porch. It was taken by an eighteen year old young man who
was vacationing at Saddle Camp. He was into photography, was a from a wealthy
industrialist family from Chicago, and just idolized Granddad Tracy. Aunt Beulah
was really angry at having to pose for the photo as she was in bed with a
serious illness. The young man took many photos at Saddle Camp and I
suspect the photo of Grandma with the animals.
When Grandma told me the story I asked her to give me the
name of the young photographer and I would look him up in Chicago as I sometimes
visited the city. She rejected the idea saying he was old and probably had
already died. I never followed up on the visit.
I just realized who the young photographer was. It had to be Philip
Knight 'PK' Wrigley. Philip took over the family business in Chicago upon
the death of his father in 1932. The family business was chewing gum, Wrigley's
Chewing Gum.
PS- A lot of wealthy families went a hunting and
vacationed at Saddle Camp. This included the Wrigley family.
