SCHOOLS
SWAN HOLLOW IN 1905
This photograph, taken at an unknown date, is from the Town Historian's office, by courtesy of Hazel McMane. The names are written on the back of the photo, in a hand that unmistakeably belonged to Florence Dixon, teacher there later for two terms in 1910 and 1911. The date of the photo is estimated by the ages of the children, given in the school register kept by Miss Dixon in 1910. Many of these children were known to her, but not all. A different hand corrected two names, which are given, as on the back of the photo, but in brackets [ ]. Other information, supplied by the coordinator, is in { }.
For the names of parents or guardians of some of these children, see Swan Hollow. FIRST ROW: Eva McCue {married 1st, Herbert Simpson; later William A. Westcott}Ed Palmer
