    The Jerome family was the epitome of "parvenu" and Jenny was not just a "rebel" - beauty or not - she was (by the standards of the times) an amoral mess, tattoo aside........................Today she would be termed a cougar, then she was just a cradle robber - her second husband was only about 2-3 years older than her eldest son...........

    Hi,
    The church that I helped restore was four houses up from the Jerome residence.
    The Jeromes were members of the church in Brooklyn. Jenny had a real madcap life before she had Winston.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    When I was little my grandparents had a bear rug on the floor of their living room, with head still attached. They were not hunters, although they did fish. So they bought it somewhere.

    I suppose this one could have the head attached, whatever it is.

    Here is a definite theatrical photo of some sort... or I assume that is the reason for the mask. Also including a close-up of the sword and gun. This is from my collection, a trimmed cabinet photo.

    I think I've shown this before, but can't remember if it was here or the old place. I may also have posted it on Facebook.

    She looks like she got hold of the prop pile in one of those photo booths and went a little nuts. :) Jenny, btw, outlived husband #2 as well and married a third time later on to a local doctor. Dunno how successful that was. Husband number two was the son of some of her husband's friends, and IIRC was the one who chased her rather than the other way around. She must have been something else.

    She got herself a toy boy. Good for her!!! Now what do they call allllll the many men in the world that dump their 1st wives for a some young thing? Hmmmm... other men envy them and women think of them as womanizers or dirty old men. ;)

    Even Edward VII successfully chased her!

    That may be true for the girl in the bowler as well... maybe she just liked those props.
