I've "rescued" an old school class photograph taken by the Gifford Studio
in
The Dalles, Oregon. The photograph includes the identification of 38 or the
39 students and advisor are pictured in the photograph. All appear to be in
their early teens at the time the photograph was taken so I'm guessing it
was taken between 1915-1920. The list of those identified in the
photograph is as follows:
Elza YOUNG
Chester PHILLIPS
Loyal KIRK
Esther WATSON
William MYERS
Frank FRIZZELL
Kenneth COOPER
Karl HANSEN
Clarence ELLIS
Marlin FOX
Vernon CHRISTMAN
Claire BARNETT
Eugene WRIGHT
Alice CARROL
Anna SKELLY
Bessie MCCULAM
Arleath CHARLTON
Margaret MCLEOD
Goldie THOMPSON
Lillie WILSON
Opal COLEMAN
Vale WOOFRED
Margaret BONNEY
Rosalie SCHERRER
Florence WILLIAMS
Esta MILLER
Elizabeth BURGETT
Charlotte NEWHOUSE
Dorothy LONGMIRE
Marie RUMSEY
Myrtle CARLSON
Margaret GATES
Irene PRENTISS
Gladys LLANDLY
Rose SEGUI
Norma SEGUI
Beatrice EDMUNSON
Miss NOREN (advisor)
Based on limited research I was able to locate information on many if not
most of those identified in the photograph indicating that most were born
between 1899 and 1903 with most being born and died in the State of Oregon.
I am hoping to locate someone from one of the families so that the
photograph can be returned to their care.
If you are a member of one of these families or know someone who might be,
please contact me.
Thank you,
Shelley
