and Marie Peters is beside her, 2nd from left. Rev. Jacob J. Doerksen is in the center, below the word “Bible.” Matron Susie Klassen is in the center, above the image of the school. See page 173 in Daughters in House of Jacob.

The Kehler family in 1917

This is a 1917 photo of the Kehler family (left to right): Susannah, Greta, Anna, mother Agatha, Jack, father Johann, Katherina, Justina, and Maria. In the portrait the family is grouped outdoors, around a table covered with a crocheted tablecloth on which is arranged a candle, a vase, and an animal ornament. Each girl’s dress is adorned with crocheted lace. Three of the sisters—Susannah, Katherina, and Maria—hold stringed instruments while Greta holds a book. Anna’s hand rests on the shoulder of her
mother and Justina’s hand on the shoulder of her sister. The youngest is Jack, the only boy, standing between his mother and father. See page 137 in Daughters in the House of Jacob.

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.
