WARREN COUNTY
MISSISSIPPI
GENWEB PROJECT
Vicksburg Main Street School c. 1910
Many thanks to Virginia
Flesher of Milan TN for sharing this treasure with us!
"I am a sucker for old photographs, and I find many in antique
malls.
If they have one
name on the photo and it is not too outlandishly high
priced, I have to
buy it. I recently purchased in Brinkley AR, Monroe Co,
a wonderful
photograph of school girls. It is in good condition, and has
21 girls in it and
on the back is a list of the girls in the photo. The photo
itself is about 5
by 7, and is glued to a cardboard backing. The backing
has two corners
broken off, but it does not take away from the photo."
"It apparently belonged to Josephine Hamilton
6th grade Main St School,
Vicksburg Miss,
because that is at the top and the names are numbered
and she is number
1. All girls are named, except for one, and a guess is
made at another.
The broken corner removed the first name of one girl,
number 21."
"I want to keep the old photo but would love to
share it with Warren
County researchers
and could scan and send it and would like to scan
the back also,
with the names."
"I searched in MS, only in Warren Co in 1900 and
1910 for these young
ladies, I found
most of them in one or the other and sometimes, in both.
I did find a
couple with not so common names in other states. A search
in Soundex may
help find the others. You may use any of this or recheck
it if you like. I
would say this photo was taken about 1910, as some girls
look about 14 or
15, while others look younger."
