The
photograph below was
taken in the Fall of 1905 at Daugherty School in Northwest Township of
Orange
County, Indiana. My
grandfather, James
Monroe Compton, was the Township Trustee and was anxious to start his
daughter,
Lottie, in school even though she had just turned five years old, so he
asked
Rufus Pinnick, the teacher to allow Lottie to attend.
The Compton family lived a short distance south of the
school. Elmer
