My grandmother is in this picture of
Ashley School dated 1902. I believe she
lived in the Carnegie area. Can anyone
identify any of these people? My great
grandmother was a Bishop and my
grandmother was a Brown, b. 1895,
Montague, TX, d. 1958 Cyril, OK.,
married Henry Strawn Lawson in Carnegie.
Do you know where Ashley school was
located?

Note:
William
Lanier

O'Briant.
I'm not positive what
year this was taken, but
based on the dob of Buddy
O'Briant,
the earliest it could
have been was 1931. Based
on the dob of Marie
O'Briant,
the latest it could have
been was spring 1934; my
guess is probably 1933.
