SIDNEY HIGH SCHOOL — 1909

Photograph of Sidney High School Students taken November 15, 1909. There are 60 individuals in the photo; 56 names are listed. Four spaces in the list may be spaces for the unknown names, or merely a division for the rows. I personally can identify those whose names appear highlighted: my aunt Viola Osborn, at the left in the back row; my father Jess Osborn, arms folded across his chest in the fourth row; family friend Clara Klein, second from left front row; and neighbor Hannah Hendricks Rabe, far right, first row. I feel relatively confident that the first 13 names are the individuals in the front row. Hazel Hand is listed twice as #6 and #17, so one of those is misidentified. The handwritten list of names was made by Jess Osborn and Viola Osborn in later years when they were able to identify some of the girls’ married names which are shown here in ( ).

This historic photograph is shared by Patricia Osborn Olmstead of Pearl, Mississippi.
