Cow Cart with Nuns

This looks to be a group of Catholic School children in a cart being pulled by a cow. There are two nuns in the photo, a woman in a hat, and 4 children, one of which is an African-American boy who is driving the cart. All of the names are unknown.

Nothing is really known about this "lost and found" photo, yet every time I see it I'm so intrigued...

Member Charles S. shared this photo about 10 years ago, and if he hadn't shared it, this bit of American history would have been lost. Does anyone have any ideas about the nature of the photo? Have you seen others like it?

Charles (and I tend to agree) think that this is a group of Catholic School children because of the nuns and the lady in the hat in the background. There's something about nuns in a cart pulled by a cow that has always stuck in my mind. Remembering pieces of lost United States history,

I don’t know anything about this picture. I do have my own opinion. The females with hats on might not be ladies but young girls going to school or catechism.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
