Editor's Note: Diana has located the above scanned photo in her online database and is still looking for the original. Based on her photographic knowledge she guesses it dates from the 1920s due to its finish and the border on the negative. She thinks it may be in the Town of Poland thinking that the structure to the right is the School House. However, it doesn't topographically make complete sense to our memories. But then we've only ever known that stretch of road more populated. Our other thought was that the water with the bridge was Cass Run. We'd appreciate any help in identifying the true location.
Also, should anyone find a relative mentioned on this site and want to know if we might have any more information or if you have a photo/information you would like to share we'd love to know! We are continuously surprised by what we find and who it matters to. We have already found an Eccles cousin, a Warn cousin and and a step-great-Aunt! We love the exchange so keep your posts coming.

I believe that these are the students sledding during a break from school. Mable Cass would have been the teacher and I am thinking this is around 1925.
