Biographical Note:
Emile F. Pernot was born in New York in 1859. He accompanied his
brother, Henry, to Oregon in 1889, and together they opened a photography
business. In 1890 Pernot was hired by Oregon Agricultural College to teach
photography and to take photographs for the Experiment Station. Through his
pioneering work in microphotography, he developed an interest in bacteriology,
and was named the first chair of the Bacteriology Department in 1900. In 1910
Pernot was named bacteriologist for the city of Portland. He married Edith
Coote, daughter of OAC horticulturalist George Coote. Pernot died in 1927.
John F. "Jack" Pernot and Frederick E. Pernot were sons of Eugene Pernot
(another of Emile Pernot's brothers). John was born in 1890 and graduated from
OAC in 1910 with a degree in Forestry. He worked for the U.S. Forest Service
until his accidental death in 1914. Frederick was also born in 1890, and
graduated from OAC in 1910 in Engineering. He taught electrical engineering at
the University of California, and died in 1968.
