This picture was sent to us by James Goode, and is said to be of the Trace School, around 1905-1908. We know that there were three schools on Trace Fork, and do not know which one this might be. Herb Dawson has identified the teacher, in the dark suit on the right, as his great-uncle, Jacob Harmon Dawson. Herb also thinks the three boys directly behind the teacher are brothers, Lucian, Claude and Arthur Winchell. The little girl to the left of the three boys, with the hat on, may be Pearl Winchell, daughter of Roxie. Herb also believes the older woman behind the three boys, in the back row, far right, is Roxie Colegrove who married a Winchell. The older lady on the back row, far left, Herb believe may be Minnie Winchell (Johnston) (Dawson) and perhaps the baby which she is holding could be her son, George Dawson. If you can identify anyone in this picture, please contact us by email.
