Description
This photograph depicts two girls, identified by the caption as Helen and Gert. One of them may be Helen Gertrude Josephine Miller (source) and the other may be Edna Gertrude Barlow (source - 1931 KHS Yearbook, source, source) but neither are confirmed. This photo is not necessarily relevant to Dr. McCleery's wolf park, but was scanned alongside other images. This photograph is included in the photo album of Margaret R. Jones and is captioned "Helen + Gert."
The photo album of Margaret R. Jones includes two notes. One indicates that the captions were hand-written by Frank Hall, and the other note reads “This album was presented to me, on (Dec. 25) 1924, from Mrs. Spitz." (“Spitz” is a best guess at what the handwriting says.)
This photograph was taken between 1921 (when Dr. McCleery obtained his first wolf) and 1924 (when the photo album was presented to Margaret R. Jones).
