OLIVE BRANCH SCHOOL
Unknown year

Contributed by Jim Williamson



A note from Margaret Bauer indicates the following:  The two pictures are of the Olive Branch School.  The teacher is Florence Chism Fults in each picture.  I printed the pictures but they are not really clear enough for me to be able to identify anyone for sure.  In the top row boy #2 is probably Travis Lesar.  Boy #5 in the same row looks like a Browning, but I don't know which one.  In the first row the last boy could be Frankie Brown.  "Miss" Florence was also my first grade teacher, but I can not find myself in the picture.  Margaret Bauer
The location of the school was near the Olive Branch Cemetery.  You would turn off of Route 3 to go to the cemetery.  The school was on the left as you go up the hill to the cemetery.  The Browning boy in the picture is probably Ernest.

On the back of this picture is the name:  Helen Bernice Hall
