Abbie Boutelle was born around 1846 and married Thomas Boutelle March 5, 1868 in Clinton MA. The couple moved to San Diego in 1895. Mrs. Boutelle was a photographer and a collector of Native American-made baskets. Around the turn of the 19th century, Mrs. Boutelle and her husband, both prominent San Diegans, took several trips to the Native American reservations in and around San Diego County. On these outings the couple would often provide the Native Americans with "supplies and luxuries" that the government did not offer (Black, 1913). Mrs. Boutelle would obtain baskets for her collection on these outings either from trade or direct purchase. According to Ken Hedges, Emeritus Curator of California Collections at the San Diego Museum of Man, Mrs. Boutelle "kept a daily diary of a wagon trip made in 1902, and did important anthropological work without even knowing it" (UCSD, 1990). Mrs. Boutelle died in Clinton, Iowa on January 4, 1928. Abbie Boutelle bequeathed her Basket collection along with her notes and photo albums related to the basket collection to the San Diego Museum (now the San Diego Museum of Man).
