Photos: Unidentified Woman standing next fountain in Windom Park (1913): Larry and Jane's Family Tree

Hildred Thurow was a somewhat whimsical teenager as evidenced by the photos in her photo album. Most of the pictures were taken either shortly before or during the first couple years of WWI. Later events may have destroyed some of her innocence, but she always seemed be above the fray. The photos are arranged according to the pages Hildred pasted them on. She apparently didn't pay too much attention to the chronological order. On some pages she indicated the date, but not on others. Very few of the individuals in the photos are identified in her album, but I have made some identifications. The original photo album has been donated to the Winona Historical Society.

Unidentified Woman standing next fountain in Windom Park (1913)

From Page 06a in Hildred's album.

This picture was taken in Windom Park in Winona which is on Broadway and Huff Streets in Winona.
Surrounded by lovely Victorian-era homes, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places, this city block is adorned by bright perennial gardens, a gazebo, and a historic sculptural fountain where park visitors can bask in the sunlight alongside famous Native American royalty, Princess Wenonah. The fountain’s center is a turn-of-the century bronze statue of Princess Wenonah (“first born daughter”), the Dakota Indian chief’s daughter who legend says is the namesake of Winona. The statue stands on a pedestal, with spraying pelicans and turtles surrounding her in the pond.

William Windom, for whom the park was named, lived across the street in the 1870’s, served in the U.S. Congress and Senate for a total of 24 years and was twice Secretary of the Treasury.

The fountain in Windom Park was donated in 1900 by Wm J. Landon in memory of his wife Ida Cone Landon.
