Keith I have a picture of my gr grandmother Rosa Drake O'Neal Wright Fairfax Clark and her class of students from the late 1800's to early 1900's. She and her class are Afro American. (I included all of her names just in case it helps. She was fathered by J. C. Drake, raised by Green O'Neal and married 3 times: Ed Wright, Elijah Fairfax, and Edward Clark). She was born near Huntsville, Ala, married in Montgomery, Ala, but lived for a time in Geneva. She joined the rest of her family in Columbus for the greater portion of her life before moving to Detroit, Mi where she died. She received her teaching diploma in 1891. She taught in both Columbus and Geneva, however, on the back of the picture is written "Sapps Chapel School". I have checked with the library in Columbus, and they say it must have been located in Geneva. Have you heard of it? If so do you know where it was located and if it still exists?

Pamela, I have not heard of the Sapps School. I will keep a lookout for any mention of it though. I would love to have a scan of the picture.
