Just noticed someone else on one of the lists that I am on, has been
posting names from old school year books... I think that is a wonderful
idea.... absolutely wonderful. That way, someone can check and see if
an ancestor of there's was in school in that area years ago. SO, I have
a picture that was in a newspaper, the date is not on the paper as it
was just a cut of of the article. Do not even know the name of the
newspaper, but probably one out of Mr. Sidney, Indiana. It is an old
paper, as it is yellowed pretty bad.
I have listed the names in alphabetical order at the end of this post.
The surname Bridgewaters is spelled wrong in this article, it is suppose
to be Bridgewater... no "s" on the end. Unice Bridgewaters---> Eunice
Bridgewater is my grandmother.
There is a group picture of all the kids and their teacher. Here is how
the article reads:
