Hi.  I was working on scanning old photos and thought this one would be good to share.  

Also, maybe those who visit the website could help me with individual IDs.  

I have the names, but my grandma did not put them in order when she wrote them on the back of the photo.  

I know the two black boys are the Elams.  

The stern looking fellow with the mustache and watch is my g.g. uncle Alexander Henry McCurdy, who was the school master.  

The three girls to the left of Alexander are the Young girls, with the last of the three (closest to the left of the photo) 

being Martha Young.  I have other photos of Martha.  She was a relation to the McCurdys, so I know her.

After Emma Young's name in the list below are Alva, John, Martha and Mary.
They were her siblings, so that may be a clue to how the other names are listed.

The names of the individuals are stated in this way:

Joe D. McCurdy		        Lizzie
Joe				Pearl (Harvey)
Chas				A.H. McCurdy (teacher)
Sam				Clark Honeyman
John				Kale
Edward			        Chas
Emma Young			Maggie Fleming
Alva				Alta Mill
Martha				Tim Lyman
Mary				Lizzie Biard
John				Homer Weikert
Mary Thomas			Robert Wall
Ellis				Robert Elam
Gertha				George Elam
Hulda
Chas Westfall
Bell
