General Notes

Note

Notes: A computer generated picture scanned from a newspaper photo in the Tuesday, April 27, 1982 issue of the Door County Advocate. The original belonged to Sonja Polster, daughter of Alvina (Slavik) Everson. There is a discrepency in the year: the newspaper, with people identified, lists the year as 1898 while the same picture used in Mitch Mackey's "The Clay Bankers" gives the year as 1897 with just the caption of school picnic. No people are identified. Could it have been the 1897/1898 school year with the picnic in the spring of 1898? Status: OK
