Mennonite serving girls

This is a photo of Mennonite girls in service. When the Mennonites from Russia came to Canada in the twenties, their daughters, often mere teenagers, had to serve in the homes of the well-to-do. Remuneration was pitiful, but these girls gave what they earned to their parents and their families. The great service rendered by these girls demands recognition. Here we see several of these serving girls. The date is 1924. [HR 249]

Anna Kehler and Jacob J. Doerksen

This is a 1930 photo of Anna Kehler taken in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, where she was working as a domestic. Anna is wearing more stylish clothes and shoes, perhaps still-beautiful hand-me-downs from the lady-of-the-house, Mrs. Richardson. In the photo, Anna is seated outside the Richardson home with her friend, Jacob J. Doerksen. See page 150 in Daughters in the House of Jacob.
