schkidsgrassycrk.jpg582 viewsMy grandmother Rosa May Reeves is in this picture. She was born in 1900, so I figure this picture to be taken around 1908. This school is in Grassy Creek. Courtesy of Bill Payne.Feb 06, 2006

workcrew.jpg758 viewsThis is a photo that I got from my grandfather Hartsoe, he thinks it's when people used to have to do highway work for free, this may be a photo of when they worked on Highway 88 (do you know when Hwy 88 was built?). As for the year, his father looks like he's in his 20s which would make it circa 1910. Grandfather Hartsoe lived on Mill Creek (the one near Warrensville). Courtesy of Regina McCoy-Hopper
