There is a small book by Vale Vandivier McGrew, "Shelburn? It was there yesterday". It has a collection of pictures that tell about Shelburn. I also have a picture of the Shelburn store before the gas pumps were installed. There are horses and wagons in front. The school is not standing. It was last used to store hay. By then all of the adornment was gone. The pump from the school is installed at the Scio Museum near Thomas Creek. The well at the school was the only :mineral" well that I knew of in the area. The water smelled like rotten eggs. It was tested often but always got good report. If you think that your mother is in either of the two pictures I can enlarge and send that. My dad may have gone there at the same time. In those days there was a state test that had to be pasted to graduate from grade school. (At least that is what I've been told). Children often had to work, as my dad did, so graduation might be put off to an older age. My guess would be that he was still there in 1914. Irene Farmer
