- Claypool School,
This photo of Claypool School was taken on
Oct. 21, 1902 and the teacher's name is written on a slate
beside the window as Jno. Wood. My
grandmother who is in the photo lived on a farm near
Blodgett, Missouri. Several of her relatives are buried in
Silent Hill Cemetery near Blodgett. I have no idea where
Claypool School was located. I only know two of the people in
the photo. Their names and locations in the photo are as
follows: A.B. Williams, my
great-uncle, is leaning out of the window with one hand on the
slate sign and one hand on the boy below him. My mother says
that A.B. was an Assistant Teacher (he was 18 yrs. old when
the photo was taken).
My grandmother, Pearl
Williams (14 yrs. old) is in the second row from the
back with all the older girls. She is the third girl from the
left as you face the photo with her left arm on the shoulder of
the girl next to her. Those are the only people we know in
the photo. Hopefully, others will visit the Scott County web
page and be able to name some of the other children! -
