Photos Taken <\/span><\/em>By The WPA School Lunch Program 1935
\n<\/span><\/em>Submitted by Brandi Hargrove<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

My great-grandfather, Frank Gracey Jarrell, was a clerk for the WPA, and saved a great deal of WPA photos in a scrapbook I now have. These are apparently from that, taken in 1935 of schoolchildren (the WPA had a hot lunch program for rural schools at the time). I thought you might like to put them on your Grundy Co. genealogy site. If anyone can identify any of the children, I’d be ecstatic to add the information.<\/p>\n

The back of the photograph with the two kids in the cart being pulled by…it’s actually a goat, its head is just turned, says on the back: “Bessi Lu Long 2 yr old and Dillard King 2 the little boy who was sick.”
\n 
\nThe other picture, with a border of the kids by the car, says: “Ready to go home.”
\n 
\nNone of the others have any writing other than what’s on the front.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
