Whenever I work on this or that reference request, I come across photos that I like. They have no relevance to my project, but I make scans of them to use at some point. So, here is “some point.” I humbly present to you a collage of photos that I like. Today we’ll stick with late 19th-early 20th century photos.
The Academy building in the late 19th century. Look closely and you will see the sisters on the steps. Note that the north wing has not yet been added.
Mother Agnes O’Flynn with students in the early 20th century. I especially enjoy the ladies in the windows.
Tillie Greenwell attended the Academy and then entered the community under the name Sister Mary Cleophas. Here she is on the left with an unidentified friend.
A photo of Louise Shaughnessy before she entered the Paola Ursuline Sisters community and became Sister Jerome.
Mother Augustine Bloemer with her parents Bernard and Katrina. Mr. and Mrs. Bloemer donated a substantial amount of land and financial resources to the Ursuline Sisters.
