Jo during her Youth, before World War I

Photos in this section were taken in Argentina, unless specified otherwise. Her father, John E. Benitz (JEBz), almost certainly took all the photos at Los Algarrobos and in the Córdoba hills. He developed his own photos, likely in shades of dark brown. For many more photos of her as a child, please see her father’s photo albums.
