One of the oldest remaining Bluffton school class photos

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 10, 2017 - 10:58am

This is one of the oldest existing photographs of a Bluffton school class. It is possibly two classes combined. We know that some of the students in the photo graduated in 1903.

Supposing those students were in the sixth grade when this photo was taken, that dates this photo to the 1896-97 school year.

Several of the members of the class of 1903 are very roughly identified.

Front row: Ruth Dukes Mohler, far left.
