Some Smith School students, 1913


Roland Meyers of Bedminster visited with this photo of schoolchildren outside Bedminster’s Smith School in 1913. Although not all are identified, most of the individuals’ names are listed below: Albert Kadner, S. Charles, Christian M. Myers, Pearl (High) Myers, Rosella Leatherman, Norman Fox, Wilmer M. Detweiler, John Miller, Walton Detweiler. Second row: Monroe M. Detweiler, William M. High, Willis Detweiler, Abram Myers, Carrie (Leatherman) Detweiler, Edna (Leatherman) Myers, Elsie Fox, Mamie (Stear) Strawn, Nora Leatherman, Hettie (Miller) Lear, Bessie (Bryan) Hart. The teacher was Laura (Myers) Kramer.

Additionally, I find myself curious about this little girl in the front row:


I wonder if she had some sort of dwarfism or other congenital condition. I wish I knew her name.
