 Garrison, Ola Collection: (see Colorado on Glass) Ola Anfenson
was a retoucher and colorist for Frank Dean, a Grand Junction photographer,
before she opened her own gallery in De Beque, Colorado. during the
oil boom in 1910. A few years later she moved to Rifle, Colorado, where
she worked for Fred Garrison as his retoucher c.1915 - 1920. She
later became his wife. Dr. Natasha Boyd acquired this material from
Mrs. Ola Anfenson Garrison before her death and sold it to the Society
in 1974. In 1964 the Society had purchased the Fred Garrison Collection
from Dr. Boyd. The Ola Garrison Collection is important because
it represents the work of an early Colorado woman photographer.
