  The following three photos were submitted by Nancy Bell. They were taken from the album of her grandmother, Lucy Sansom Scott and were taken around 1910-1920. Nancy is asking anyone that can identify anyone in the photos to please contact her. 

 





The next two photos were submitted by Jay Luquette


I thought this might be of interest to others in Chickasaw.  My grandfather, Rad Walker Reeder, is the young boy standing next to the teacher.  The Houlka Schoolhouse is in the background.  The schoolhouse opened around 1907, which is the year my grandfather was born.  I'm not sure how old he is in this picture, but I'd say it has to be around 1917 or so.  Don't know any of the other children in the photo, but I thought it might be of interest to other families searching for ancestors.



:  The girl in the center is Georgia Earlie Reeder.  We do not know any of the others in the photo.  They could be brothers, father, uncles, her eventual husband (she married a second cousin, Robert Reeder).  Georgis Earlie Reeder was born 1878 in Chickasaw County.  As a young girl, the family moved to Pontotoc County.  Her parents were Thomas jefferson Reeder (1848-1914) and Eliza jane Young (1844-1927), both of Chickasaw County.  They are buried in the Williams Cemetery in Pontotoc County.  Georgia and Robert are buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Chickasaw.  I have been able to find 9 children of Thomas and Eliza, 3 of them sons (Georgia's brothers), however my grandmother said there were a total of 13 children, some may have died young.  I hope someone can Identify the men in the photo.
