The Class of 1928, 1st thru 8th Grade

Vonnie Horne Childers – Teacher

One Room Schoolhouse, Heated by a pot bellied stove. Drinking water from a well from the home of Albert and Bertha Childers. This picture was given to me (Lawrence E. Cook) by my Mother’s sister, Burtis Moore Mullins, who attended this school from 1* to 8″ grade. My Mom, Lula Moore Cook, also attended this school and enjoyed it so much that she repeated the &”” grade. Eighty years after this picture was taken (2008) Burtis is still living. This school was located in the small bottom near where Lester Cantrell and Tommy Silcox live at this time.

This would have been a better picture if the photographer had gotten the middle row farther to the left. When enlarging this photo Arlene Mullins was left off. She later married Adam Childers. Cloie, Opal, Cora and Everette were sisters and brother. Children of Enoch Potter. Maxie, Goldie, Garnet and Alvin were sisters and brother. Children of John Morgan Potter. Nola, Gwendolyn and Catherine were sisters. Children of Albert Childers. Burtis and Dixie Moore were sisters. Children of Melvin Moore. Adam, Mable and Jcheniah were brother and sisters. Children of Biven Childers.

The three Ramey boys must have been brothers from their resemblance. Look at the dresses of Maxic, Goldie and Garnet Potter. Same bolt of cloth and same seamstress I would guess.
I hope you folks enjoy this picture as much as I do.
