1905

About 1905: Teacher, Bertha Trage.
Front row; 1. Annie McLennan, minus head. This picture would have been very embarrassing to her as the McLennan children had their hair shaved off because of lice, so she cut off her head. 2 - -, 3 - -, 4. Maggie McLennan, with shaved head. It was explained to me that the little one in front is probably the child of the itinerant photographer. Many itinerant photographers travelled from school to school, taking pictures of the school children.
