TEACHERS??
 

 
The following picture will hopefully be helpful to the viewer. Most of the people in this picture have
been identified, and many have names familiar to Bedford County researchers, however there
are a still a few questions - -
 
 
(Back Row)
Zella Rose / Deaner - - - - Minnie Cooper / Clabaugh - - - - ??? Miller - - - - Caroline Blackburn

Etta McFerren / Stair - - - Cortez Werstling - - - Nettie Claycomb - - - ? ? Snyder - - - May Stern

This picture was kept by my grandmother Minnie Cooper / Clabaugh (born 1885 - died 1965). She was a teacher and she taught for at least one year at the Robinsonville School. My guess is that this picture was taken about 1903 - 1905.

I know that at least two others in this picture were school teachers. Is this a picture of all the teachers in a Twp. for a given year? Or is it more likely, since all appear to be about the same age, a graduating class for school teachers?

Can anyone further identify Miss Miller and Mr. Snyder?

 

While I'm certainly hoping to find further information about these people, I'm also hoping that someone will examine this picture and identify an ancestor in a picture they've never seen before.
