Caption:
Students 1908 | Additional Description: These 1908 students--only white children in that segregated time-were of various elementary and middle-school ages, drawn from farm and trade families. They carried local surnames prominent in that era and today such as Allnutt, Darby, Hersperger, Dawson, Offutt and Willard. In the winter, when the nearby C&O Canal froze solid and the barges couldn't move, children who lived on their family's boats attended too.
