The pictures above were taken in 1926 when Haden
was 14 and Lloyd was 16.
They were shared with us by Deanna Smith, daughter of Haden. She found
our alumni website when searching for information on her family's history.
She believes, according to the 1930 census, that Lloyd was a teacher.
Deanna would appreciate any information you may have on that.
She also shared a picture of a country school near West Branch and
wonders if it may have been the school where Lloyd taught....
