Gallia County pictures

These pictures are from an album which belonged to my grandmother's sister and her family lived in Gallia County for many generations back. The pages were sent to me by my mother's cousin who has recently passed away. He had them for years and did not know anything about the content or people in the pictures. Unfortunately there are no names on the back and only a few names or writing on the borders of the pictures. My hope is to have any of the people in the pictures identified so that I can reunite the original photos with a family member.


I am also adding photos from my grandmother's album and some loose ones in a a box that belonged to her. A few are named. What a treasure to find these pictures...a part of history.


And then I am including a few pictures which I can identify and had belonged to my grandmother. Those pictures will have names.

School girls

Someone really has to know about this picture. There are more than 40 young women in formation! Does anyone recognize where it was taken? I can send a larger image if anyone is interested.

From Cheryl: I think that the picture you labeled Girl's school, may be Rio Grande College in it's early years. I have seen a picture similar to it from my aunt Marie's photo album. I also recognize the house in the background and the configuration of the land . I would say it was a physical education class doing their exercises out on the campus lawn. Since just in front of the ladies would have been Community Hall, which was also the gymnasium and auditorium.
