Lime Kiln School 1917
This photo is from
the personal family photo collection of Elizabeth Irene Norrell, daughter
of Nuban Houston "Bud" Norrell and Dellar Catherin Bell-Norrel. Irene
is my granny and when she gave me this photo, she said this was her
first year in school and that she was the 7th person in the third
row from the bottom up. She did not name anyone else though.
The school was in the Titus community and that was where she lived
at the time. Her grandfather and grandmother were James Polk Bell
and Addie Eugenia Sullivan Bell from Cookville,
Titus County, Texas.
My granny Page lived in the Dallas
area, Lamar County
Area, Powderly
and Paris just about all her
life. She loved to volunteer at the Nursing homes calling Bingo, attended
several church events including the quilting bees. She was active
in every church that she attended and often sewed for lots of family
and friends. I believe she would be tickled to have her school photo
shared with others.
