    1. [OHBELMON-L] Goblers Knob School 1912
    2. Hi everyone. I came across a picture in the Martins Ferry Times-Leader, dated Wednesday, May 10, 1967. They have a feature called "Backward Glances." The article is always about something from the past. This feature was a photo of the children who attended Goblers Knob School in 1912. The caption under the photo says, "The Goblers Knob School was located three miles south west of Barnesville and was attended by these children in 1912. Later the school was named the Mt. Hope. Children identified, first row from the left, Anna Douglas, Joseph Toohey, Clarence Murphy, Harry Lynch, Tom Doudna, Everett Crum, Tom Penrod, Charles Lynch; second, Ellen Doudna, Hallie House, Mary Hackett, Denis Mahoney, Geneva Phillips, Chester Keadle, Harold Jeffries, Ivy Sprouse; top, Anna Hackett, Amanda Huntsman, teacher Ralph Duvall, Alta Crum, Fay Denry, Wauneta Keadle, Maud Morris, Lola Palmer and Marie Lucas." I remember my Grandma mentioning Gobblers Knob in times past but I thought it was just an expression. I guess not! I wished I'd listened closer... If anyone wants me to email you a copy of the article with the picture please email me off list. I have to warn you, however, that the picture isn't all that clear even after I tried adjusting the scanned copy. Sharen Bowers in Columbus, Ohio but my roots are in Belmont County
