3rd Grade Class, 1917, Utica, PA
 submitted by Ann Hennings

3rd Grad Class, 1917, Utica, PA (back)

Ann received this picture from Julia Arnold Clews of Gaithersburg, MD whose husband, William Hedley Clews (no. 16 in the picture), lived in the Utica area as a child. Ann has donated the picture to the Venango County Historical Society.

The listing on the back of the picture, obviously made at some later date, identifies most of the children in the picture and, for some, their present spouse and address. The numbers in the listing correspond to the numbers written on the picture.  It appears that the listing may have been made by at least two different people (as evidenced by the different handwriting) and perhaps at two different times.  The listing reads as follows:

Name Present Address
1. Charles D. Johnston Brawley Ave Meadville, Pa.
2. Ward Hoffman (wf [?] Edna Lee of Utica)  
3. Orrin "Jake" Carnahan Lorraine Ohio
4. Martha Perrine Meadville, Pa.
5. Mary Corbett (Phillips) Franklin, Pa.
6. [blank]  
7. Arvilla Sackett  
8. Ocie Hasson Utica, Pa. (Utica Hill, 1st house on left [?])
9. Eleann Brown (Mrs. Fred Mitchell) Cooperstown, Pa.
10. Leatha Johnston (Mrs. Earl Snyder) Utica, Pa.
11. Marian Whitman (Mrs. Clyde Scott) Baden, Pa.
12. Margaret McMurray  
13. Cleo Horrabin Port Arthur, Texas
14. Phyllis Cochran New York State
15. Grant McMurray Erie, Pa.
16. [William Hedley Clews - number 16 in picture, but not listed in the listing]
17. Robert Lee Reno, Pa.
18. Margaret Blair (Mrs. Albert Reynolds) Rocky Grove, Pa.
19. Phyllis Ramsey Meadville, Pa.
