Smoot/Curtis School 1895

This article appeared in the Petersburg Observer on March 20, 1969. My husband's father, Nathan Martin, is shown in the 2nd row with his hands on the shoulders of the young man in front of him. Nathan was 14 1/2 at the time. All of the students are identified.

    The article says the photo was owned by Kate Park Faith. Faith was the maiden name of Nathan's maternal grandmother (Sarah Faith Kinney). We would like to get in contact with whoever may have this photograph, or any descendants of Sarah Faith Kinney.
