"Grandpa Eite (on right) and Grandpa Campbell"
Grandpa Eite was Robert Eite, born Feb. 15, 1867 in England and immigrated to the US in 1887. He is listed in the 1900 US Census in Salt Lake City, Utah, working as a candy manufacturer. His wife, Alice Pitts, died about 1901 and Robert remarried to an Elizabeth "Lizzie" Campbell...it is most likely this 2nd wifes' father that is noted in the photo as "Grandpa Campbell".
Robert Eite died March 30, 1960 in San Diego, CA.
