Olathe, Colo., 1944

 Sub-Series — Box: OSBCHI-C-100-1, Folder: 49
Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains a list of Sisters who taught vacation schools in Olathe, Colorado, and an image of a Sister standing alongside eight pupils. The back of the print lists the year as 1944, although there is no evidence the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago were present in the town until two decades later. There is a good chance this photograph was taken later than listed or was captured in a separate town.
