The Old Appleton School House.

Appleton School Building

The date of the photo is not known.

Notice: to the right side of the photo, mid-page,  a horse is tied to a tree! Was the school house in use at the time this photo was taken?  Maybe that horse brought the photographer to this place so he/she could take the picture?



Photo of a class of students that went to school at the Old Appleton School. Assuming that Hazel Mae Hendrix, a student in front row, was in the 1st or 2nd grade at the time the photo was taken; then it is estimated that the class photo was taken about 1913.
