Erie Catholics 1

 

I haven't put up a multi-part collection in a while, so here goes.  There are only nine images, so I'll post three parts, three photos each.  I'll put them up without interrupting the series with other posts, and I'll label them all Erie Catholics so one click will bring them all up.  

Written on the back of the top photo, "Erie PA Father Raymond Quinn & Father Lester (?) Quinn-(special friend of Elizabeth Gibson) with their mother & 2 sisters."  The second photo, "On the O.L.S orphans outing June 1924.  Fr. Raymond Quinn, Erie, PA."  And the third, "Erie PA Mrs. Loval Gibson."  

So, brother priests?  The question mark may call the first name, Lester into question, but the writer seems sure of the last name.  My guess is all of these pictures were taken around the same time, perhaps not all in 1924, but certainly in the twenties.  Are the three women in the top photo mother and sisters of the priests?  Sure looks that way. Some of the pictures yet to be posted are labeled Elizabeth Gibson, and the older woman in the bottom photo isn't her.  Probably Mrs. Loval Gibson is Elizabeth's mother. 

The Post War European Trip Collection-Moses

Written on the back, "This is supposed to be the finest work of sculptur ever conceived by man.  It's a statue of Moses holding the Ten Commandments and was done by Michael Angelo.  It now sits inside St. Peter's church and is part of a memorial to a Pope who died centuries ago."  The card was never mailed.

Our traveler visited a number of places,  I have no idea as to her route, and feel no obligation to group locations,  As usual, click on The Post War European Trip Collection in labels to see more.
