  Cardinal James Gibbons (1834-1921), the second American to become a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church; encouraged American Catholics to support the labor movement, saying "It is the right of laboring classes to protect themselves, and the duty of the whole people to find a remedy against avarice, oppression, and corruption." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Gibbons

  See hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3a47937 for an 1886 photo of the cardinal.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks, penny, for the information about Cardinal Gibbons. I'd like to keep the discussion going. Do you have any idea what he might have been doing in Milwaukee?

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  According to the NYTimes, Gibbons attended a convention in Milwaukee in August 1913 when the American Federation of Catholic Societies met there, and he performed the formal opening ceremonies at St. John's Cathedral.

  Here is a working link to the New York Times story of August 11, 1913: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=940DEFDF123FE633A...

  "Ex-housewife" sounds like she divorced her house.

• Denny Gill said:

  Apparently Mrs. Mazurek died in Milwaukee in 1991. Many more details about this photo at Shorpy's site: www.shorpy.com/node/2083
