General note
47-467_001 appeared on Page 3 of the Wednesday, July 23, 1947 edition of the newspaper as part of the article: "Can't Talk or Hear, But Enjoy Life Fully."
General note
Photo caption from published version of 47-467_001: "ENFORCED SILENCE - From the day they first met Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Nahrgang [Margaret Blaire McLeod] of Knollwood Park haven't spoken to each other. It isn't that they are in disagreement. They are deaf mutes who, despite their physical handicaps, get as much joy out of life as normal persons."
General note
Accompanying article notes that Mrs. Nahrgang, originally from Toronto, was educated at the Clinton St. School for Lip Reading. She and Clarence were married in 1943.
General note
"Deaf mutes" and "physical handicaps" are outdated terms used historically to refer to the deaf and individuals with a physical disability which many find offensive. The use of the terms in the newspaper photo caption have been maintained in keeping with Special Collections & Archives’ approach to language in archival descriptions, which prioritizes speaking openly about and clearly identifying problematic, harmful, and otherwise offensive records in the department’s holdings. This approach, while potentially upsetting, allows for the critical assessment and questioning of historical material by contemporary researchers.
