Daugherty School
Northwest Township 1905

The photograph below was taken in the Fall of 1905 at Daugherty School in Northwest Township of Orange County, Indiana.  My grandfather, James Monroe Compton, was the Township Trustee and was anxious to start his daughter, Lottie, in school even though she had just turned five years old, so he asked Rufus Pinnick, the teacher to allow Lottie to attend.  The Compton family lived a short distance south of the school......Elmer Compton
