Brems School
1899
A nice lady & gentleman used to come into the restaurant where I worked, her name was Fern PARKS VAILL and her brother Edison PARKS, they were from Knox... When Fern found out my sister and I were CHANCE's she brought in this picture clipped from the newspaper. Fern and Edison have since passed, I will always be grateful for this kind gesture. I have been unsuccessful in locating the owner of the original photo..

On the slate is written...
Dist. No. 6 Center Twp. Starke Co. Feb. 1899
Fern wrote names on the newpaper photo.
