Miss Addie Gardner and Her Class, 1895

Shelby Public School Class of Miss Addie Gardner of 30 Years Ago

Do You Know Them? The Star might be wrong in some of the names but a member of the above class has helped us recognize the faces as best he can. Miss Addie Gardner was the teacher then, and she was one of the best that ever stood before a class. Now she is Mrs. R.M. Farthing of Canada. Picture from which the above was made is in possession of Bob Wilson and is perhaps the only one in existence. Look and laugh at the styles of wearing apparel which are in such striking contract with the clothes of today.

Front row beginning left to right: Misses Johnnie Wray, Lil Wray, Selma Webb, Kate Webb, one of T.K. Barnett’s daughters, May Wells, Mayme Cabaniss (now Mrs. J.J. Lattimore), Zoe Laton.

Second row: Mayme Jones, Linnie Davis, Sallie Wray, Minie Palmer, Mamie Ware. Third row: Son of Jimmie Wray, Jim Wilson, Walter Brice, one of the Wilkerson boys, A.V. Wray, Evans McBrayer, Claude Miller.

Back row: Julius Suttle, Ladd Eskridge, John Wells, Miss Addie Gardner (seated), Bate Gardner, Olin Hamrick, Hershal Ponder.
