This photo is of John Lott, probably taken in the 1930s. John came to Petersburg after 1910 to work in the canneries and had a cabin down by the harbor. He and his wife were advocates to the Bureau of Education for a school for Native children in town. Sadly, his wife and son Carl were found drowned within a couple weeks of one another in the 1940s.
