Grade School

Photo contributed by Karen Hutmacher -
This picture of the Florence Station school was taken in the late 1890s or very early 1900s. I bought it on eBay!
Unfortunately it scanned poorly because someone had glued it to an old German newspaper and the photo is very "wavy"
-- but the people show up good! I have no names.

Photo taken in 1951, the teacher's name is Gladys Lorey.
Names include Scudder, Otto, Klock, Fowler, Bastian, Janssen, Stenbeck,
Duitsman, Palmer, Kaiser & Handel
