 This picture is of the Old Alma School circa 1900-1912 (possibly earlier) with
the student body outside. I have no identification or date, however the picture
was on an old mat with handwritten "Alma School" on the back of the picture. It
would be very helpful if someone recognizes the school picture and could help us
with the history.

Additional Comments:
Teacher signing for Claude Ruffin May 1912 R.A. Martin.  (Might be "W" for
middle initial.
This photo before the brick school was built.  Probably the Methodist Church
which was used as the 1st school.  The church was built 1880.
The land for the church, school, cemetery was given by Mr. Fleming in honor of
his daughter, Alma.
