Dear Joyce,
The Elmira graduation photo
I sent you has been identified as School # 4 in Elmira, circa 1890. I found
the Mrs. Brown - the teacher in the photo -in the 1890-1893 Elmira City
Directories. She is listed in the Directory as Cora M. Brown, teacher
school # 4. One of the students in the photo is listed on the photo
as Cora Brown. Perhaps she is Mrs. Brown's daughter.
The following names were
penciled in by Claude E. Toles on the Elmira School # 4 photo:
