Photo album entitled "Jones Island, March 1904 to April 1905". Most of the 210 black
and white photographs are approximately 5” x 4”, with a handful of 6½” x 5” photos
throughout. The photos were originally black and white but all have faded to shades
of brown. The photos are mostly of Jones Island and the children who inhabited it.
The woman who took the pictures was a kindergarten teacher named Flora Mae
Templeton, née Karel (1877-1978) and many of the children who appear were in her
classes. She most likely lived on the mainland and taught on Jones Island. There are
many photos of the interior of the school’s kindergarten classroom. Also included
are pictures of the lake and ships that came in and out of Milwaukee’s harbor. The
majority of the photos have been identified, all by the photographer. Image 145 does
not exist. Alternate spellings of names have been provided in parentheses.
