This photo of Gammon School was taken around 1909. The picture was submitted by our cousin Alberta Anderson (Betty's daughter) on the Dallas County MOGenWebpage.
The teacher is identified as Florence Quigley who afterward became Florence Ellis.

The Highbargers would be Grandma Stanton's brothers. I have the Highbargers' birth order as being:
James - I knew him as Uncle Jim. He and Aunt Blanche were school teachers and lived at the top of the hill from Grandma and Grandpa Stanton. I have "blue pickles" also written next to his name. Does anyone remember what that refers to?
Everett - described as being "good looking". He later went to California, correct?
Alonzo Bryan - "smoked and loved to tease the kids" is a description I've heard.
Hazel - our Grandma
Roscoe - "good dancer, took a gun with him on Saturday nights". I also see Uncle Roscoe's name spelled Rosco. Which one is correct?
Please correct any information I have wrong and I'd love it if you'd add your memories
of these relatives.
