Hey my grandpa gets a mention! My grandfather was Stile Lessly born Oct 21, 1901 the son of James Elgin Lessly and Matilda Gertrude Stiles. The other Lessly listed as graduating is his first cousin Anna Maude. She was the daughter of George Edwin Lessly and Willa Mae Daggs. Anna Maude was born on Aug 22, 1900. Because of their ages I am guessing that they are graduating from the 8th grade. I guess they got to take advantage of the "new" high school the paper had mentioned in previous editions.
