March 24, 2012 Remember this photo and information I posted on the March 11th post of the 'Crystal Creek School' (Washington School District 2 miles south of Greenview) taken in 1890?? Well, we have a few more relatives of these people added to the list now (see the additions in purple ink below).
This shows the names . . .
While Karen was proof reading this page for me, she noted that her grandmother Leyla Abbot is* in the photo (2nd from right in 1st row), but her name is not on the list! She would have been listed as no. 13 in 1st row and then Nel Davidson would have been no. 14. Emmett
Martin sent this information: That old school house was there until 1936. I remember playing in it. Frank Martin tore it down and built a log cabin, which is still there!! Lots of people think that the log cabin was the old school house. Not so. Merton Martin spent many hours chipping bark off the logs that are still standing." New additions: Joanne Smith Mello wrote she was so happy to finally have the names of the students shown in the photo. She is related to these people: Ida Egli (standing next to Staff Wilson, Jr. (Lucius Stafford Wilson) who she later married; Pearl Wilson, Lizzie Egli, Ed Egli, Alma Wilson (Pearl & Alma were cousins of Staff Wilson), and she is also connected to the teacher Laura Cummins. Eb and his cousin Karen, who was here visiting from Switzerland, are related to these people: Clara Walker, Elizabeth Walker, Bertha Walker, Ira Walker, Newton Walker, Joe Walker, Mabel Abbot and Leyla Abbot (name not shown in list, but see note above from Karen*) If any more of you out there have relatives shown in that photo, please let me know! Joanne also sent along this photo we believe to have been taken at Etna Elementary in 1917. Her mother, Myrtise Wilson is in the top row far right with large white bow in her hair. Joanne believes her father, Raymond Smith is in the bottom row, third from right.
And again . . . if you have relatives shown in this photo, please let me know so we can add to the list!
Che'usa Thanks
