Snipped from the blog post:

This photo came from the genealogy room at the Elma Ross Public Library in Brownsville, Tennessee. It was taken in the 1890s at the school in the Allen Community of Haywood County. Notes on the back of the photo indicate the school was located close to where Russell Kirby’s house is today.

The photo was given to the library by Lawrence Cobb who ran a grocery store located near my maternal grandparent’s house.
