Photos of students and teachers

Late 1890s.

In the 1890s students came from families with well-known Pleasant Valley names such as: Johnson, Moore, Blackwell, Atchley, Parkhill, Larowe, Hunter, Wambaugh, Leigh, and Hart. The teacher is probably either Miss Mai Fleming or Miss Elizabeth (Lizzie) May Reed.

The children in this photo have not been identified but it is clear that a number of them appear in the ca 1910 photo.  The teacher is still Mr. Charles Olmstead.  Note that the US Flag is mounted backwards.  This does not appear to be a printing error since Mr. Olmstead is shown in both photos with his hair parted on the same sie.

This photo is probably from the 1920s but the children are not identified. The driver is George Wooden.
