Unknown School



This old school photo was found in the Paul Smith Texas Photo Collection.  It belonged to Bettye Springer Smith who was born in Aley in 1899 and went to a nearby school.  I don't know the name of the school.  Does someone recognize the school and teacher?   In the photo is Bettye Springer, front row on the far right.  Dixie Arnold is in second row, second from right. They are cousins and lived on adjoining farms in the Aley community.  Photo taken ca 1907?    Bettye was daughter of James William Springer and Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Gardner.  Dixie Elizabeth Arnold was born 1897 in Aley community, the daughter of Bentley Dee Arnold, Jr. and Mary Jane Gardner.    Cathi Agnew Smith
