Additional Comments:
Many thanks to the individuals who shared the class
pictures.  Special thanks go to the many "over 60"
family members and Bertie County friends who diligently
labored to identify the children and teachers in the
photos.  We must remember that some students were the
children of sharecroppers, thus were less well-known to
classmates because they moved out of the community
after attending school for a short period of time.
Some children started school late and some, because of
illness or other factors, missed a year of school thus
weren't with their original class.  Some did not live
in the immediate Powellsville area.  These factors made
it more difficult to identify many of the students.
Too, memory does fade over the years.  Pictures made
available by Lynn McCarthy.  Send additions/changes to
Virginia Crilley.
