Another stumbling block to identifcation is the lack of a 1902 Noblesville High School Annual. Neither the Historical Society or the Noblesville Southeastern Library has a copy.
If you have
a copy of this annual, we would like to borrow it to identify the rest of the pictures. If you had relatives
that graduated that year, we would appreciate any help you can give us. The picture is on display at
the Hamilton County Historical Museum in the old Jail on the public square. It can be viewed between
10AM-4PM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Please help us give names to these graduates.
Below is a list of the graduates, with those that
have been identified marked with the letters ID. If it show ID?, that means we are not sure it is the correct person
