44 – Teply Lifestyle – Recreation – 1890-1917

Mark Jarvis

Teply lifestyle wouldn’t be complete without looking at some recreation.

Fishing, hunting, ice skating, etc.

There are lots of fun stories of down-time activities. Read on.

Spoiler alert: The photos are not Teplys. They are scenes of Washington and Marshall Counties during the same time period, from the collection of photographer O.F. Hawkins of Marysville.

Fishing

Fishing seems like Frank’s passion. There are lots of fish stories. It was probably fun, and also put food on the table.

Hunting

Not as many stories. But it must have also been a practical way to supplement the dinner table.
