Sherry School - 1905 or 1906

For many years, Lloyd V. Tuttle contributed historic photos and information to the Defiance Crescent-News for his column: "A Backward Glance."  This article ran on Thursday, April 22, 1965. Although the students' faces are not really visible, it is a good photo of the school and the student names might be helpful.

"ONE OF the little one-room school houses that used to dot the landscape of Defiance county was the Sherry School, south of Defiance on the canal road.  The building still stands but is used for purposes other than a schoolhouse.

ROLLIE Phillips was the teacher when this picture was taken about 1905 or 1906.  He now lives in Colorado.  

Pupils in the picture are: 
Frank Hellum, Pearl Hellum, May Wolf, Clara Powers, Minnie Nichols, Mabel Pace, Olive Shuler, Iva Pace, Hattie Hammersmith, Jesse Pace, Hazel Hammersmith, Myrtle Shafer, Anna Shafer, Mary Nichols, Alva Shaffer, Lester Shaffer, Minnie Powers and Mary Nichols.

The picture was brought in by Mrs. Iva Herder, 911 S. Jackson Ave."
