Real photograph postcard of two women posed on a chair by photographer John Pichler (1877-1961). The woman on the left, Fronie Juanita Shawler, is holding her dog. Shawler was born in 1914 in Cloverport, Breckinridge County, Kentucky, and eventually moved to Louisville. She joined the Stoner Memorial Church, where she was a member for 83 years and served as the first female trustee. Juanita worked as a healthcare provider at the Baxter Community Center Clinic in Beecher Terrace and retired as a nurse assistant for the Louisville-Jefferson County Health Department. She was married to her husband Clark for 56 years and the couple had no children. In addition to being active in church, Juanita was an avid bowler in a church league and the Senior Citizens Bowling League. She continued bowling—and driving her car—until she was 103 years old. Juanita died in May 2022 at the age of 108.
John Pichler was an Austrian immigrant who came to America in 1898. He took this photograph from his home studio in the rear of 1753 St. Louis Avenue in the Park Hill Neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. His son John O. Pichler learned from his father and was an engraver for The Louisville-Courier Journal and Standard Gravure for over 50 years.
