This is an amazing photo! It is a school from Scircleville. Does anyone recognize their ancestor or know the year it was taken?

We have this amazing photo, but no real information regarding it. It appears to be early 1900's and possibly on Washington St.

Any information would be most appreciated. :)

A few months ago we posted three booklets in a series of fabulous newspaper booklets published by the Frankfort Times in 1994. The Times, establshed in 1894 by George Young Fowler and his brother Finley Fowler, published the booklets in honor of the Frankfort Times Centennial Celebration.

We were thrilled to have the three booklets, but knew that there were actually four. We asked if anyone might have access to the missing "How We Grew" booklet.

A few weeks later, we were delighted to receive a message from Sonja Sacra saying that she was going through her mother's items and while doing so, she found the missing booklet!! Sonja kindly donated the missing booklet to us and we are so THRILLED to now have the full collection.

Thank you Sonja and her awesome Mom, Marie Hall, who knew that she had a fabulous piece of Clinton County history and held on to it!

We will post clips from the booklets. They are an amazing Chronological display of life in Clinton County from 1894-1994.
