My grandmother and great grandfather taught and lived at Orangeville. My mother was born and raised there. In fact I have the bell my great grandfather J.W. Henry rang at the school. I also have several pictures of classes taken in front of the school. Sometime I need to get with you Susan because I also have alot of old columns from the Trenton Tribune written by my other great grandfather Dr. W.C. Holmes. There might be some things you would like to scan. I also have a picture of a class at Pilot Grove. Deanne Barker > I have some stuff on Orangville , I will be having more time.
