This is one of the photographs given to me by Helen Graybeal Price of Johnson City, TN. The truly wonderful thing about this picture is all but one of the children are identified. Their names were written on the back including their position in the picture. No date was given, but I think it was taken 1903-1905 or so. Also not given was the name of the school, but the students were listed in the 1910 census living in Mountain City.

Using the 1900 abd 1910 Census' of Johnson Co., TN, by Thomas W. Gentry, the years of the children's birth and their parents are given in brackets [ ].
