Back (written by Mary Shields):Genevieve Kirwan ShieldsKee counted the stars on the flag, and there's 48. So this has to be after 2/14/1912. Kee thinks this an the next photo are from a church-related event in 1915. |

This is how the photo appears without any
manipulation (this is a color image). |

Kee believes Chief defaced this picture for
some reason. Fortunately, several copies were made before
that occurred (see image #007). However, note how much
clearer this picture is compared to 007. On Back (author in []): [Gen Kirwan Shields]Kee notes that if the woman on Gen's left is a neighbor, her name is Mrs. Fist, not Mrs. Fisk. |

Chief? |
This clipping from the Brooklyn Eagle,
dated 11/22/1953 was found in Gen's scrapbook. The
handwriting appears to be hers. According to a letter from the Board of Education, Chief worked in the post office in various positions from 4/13/1909 - 4/15/1920. He took the Civil Service exam in August of 1908, and received an offer letter to start on 4/13/09. Since the caption indicates the picture was taken in 1904, it's not clear if Gen misidentified Chief, or if the 1904 date was incorrect, or even if Chief could have worked for the post office in '04 (he would have been 17 for most of that year). There is an article in the Brooklyn Eagle dated 11/07/1913, concerning Frank J. Shields being attacked by a dog at 86th St. & 3rd Ave. I assume this must be Chief. |
