Sepia Saturday Groups in hats.

Sepia Saturday

Saturday May 19, 2012

Alan's prompt suggested photos with folks with hats on.

I think this is the cutest photo out of all that I had.

 

Found this photo in a history of
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth Kentucky
1924-1936 

These hats on these little fellows are as cute as can be.

These boys were members of The Future Farmers of America and learned the value of hard work early in life.


St. Peter's Orphanage was founded in Memphis Tennessee in 1887.
At that time there were 9 sisters there to care for 135 children.


In the years 1852 through 1893 the sisters founded
6 orphanages in Kentucky, Mass, Tenn and Virginia.


Classes were held in these orphanages up to the 8th grade and the children were then allowed to choose the high  school of their choice while remaining at the orphanage as long as was needed.
