A Spunky Looking Bunch

Warmly dressed and well-shod. By the standards of the time, barely downtrodden at all.

Newsboys' Home(s)

Submitted by Phaedrus on Fri, 03/09/2012 - 12:24pm.

My grandmother moved from NYC to Chicago in 1875 and became head of "Newsboys' Home." I have no knowledge of what services were provided, but one assumes at least a place to sleep. Later she moved to Indianapolis to run a newsboys' home there.

Mary Graham Jones

Submitted by Jazznocracy on Fri, 03/09/2012 - 11:44am.

From what I've been able to find so far Mary Graham Jones was the head of the settlement house starting in 1898. There is (or was) a Mary Graham Jones Playground in Hartford.

What a party! At least there's no need to refrigerate the hors d'oeuvres.
