Description

Holbrook Christian Church Sunday School class in Holbrook, Center Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Based on the handwritten inscriptions on the back of the photograph, the following identifications have been researched and shared by *Janis (Kelly) Noonan, **Glenn Toothman III, and ***Ramona (Varner) Harkins, 2022. [Left-Right]: BACK ROW - (1) **Sarah (Wood) Marley [1895-1983] - caption reads, "Sarah Marlery" (2) **Clara (Wood) Phillips [1893-1982] - caption reads, "Clara Marlery" (3) *Roy Forest Knight [1891-1964] - caption reads, "Roy Knight" (4) *Mary Grace (Rush) Lewis [1890-1969] - caption reads, "Grace Rush" (5) *William Richard McCoy [1891-1972] - caption reads, "Billy McCoy" (6) *Artie Hildred (Grove) Stockdale [1892-1965] - caption reads, "Hildred Grove" (7) *Francis Luellen "Lue" Hoge [1890-1935] - caption reads, "Lue Hoge" (8) *Lucretia (Bayard) Evans [1891-1977] - caption reads, "Crete Evans" (9) ***Martha Hazel (Wood) West [1897-1961] - caption reads, "Mattie Wood" FRONT ROW - (10) caption reads, "Fannie Morris" (11) *Anna (Moore) (Goodwin) Hurtman [1893-1972] - caption reads, "Anna Moore" (12) *Allen Perry Milliken [1891-1961] - caption reads, "Allen Milliken" (13) *Flora (Gilbert) Sellers [1890-1974] - caption reads, "Flora Sellers" (14) Alphonso Henry Grimes [1890-1959] - caption reads, "Phon Grimes" (15) **Ella May (Watson) Throckmorton [1893-1988] - caption reads, "Ella Throckmorton" (16) *William Edward Milliken [1893-1960] - caption reads, "Bill Milliken." Women's maiden and married names are mixed in the captions. We do not know exactly when the captions were written. As the owner of this print, we presume Ella May (Watson) Throckmorton [1893-1988], or someone close to her, wrote them. She is captioned with her married name, though the family believes this picture was taken before she was married in 1914, at the age of 21. If so, she may have written the captions sometime later and identified herself and certain friends by their married names instead of their names at the time the picture was actually taken.
