Submitted by Peggy Maier with note: I'm sure this is another photo taken at Barger School. My grandmother Edna couldn't remember the names of any of the children except her mother Ethel Florence Sprague, top row, 4th from left in the dark dress, and Harris Brown, whom she said was 5th from right on top row (Ethel was born in 1884 & Harris in 1887) This is the last school my great grandmother attended. She married James Alvin Brown 13 April 1902 at Allardt
Established at the end of Reconstruction by land agent Bruno Gernt in 1881, Allardt was envisoned as a German colony for the “New South.” Several buildings associated with the community’s settlement and development are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
