Surnames: Clarkson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YlB.2ACI/1993.1 Message Board Post: Someone else might have a definite answer, but my Mother , Mildred Clarkson, went to Paris Commercial College about 1921 and took secretarial courses (including Greg Shorthand). Later on I think that the commerical college became Paris Junior College. The only things I have from that era is the graduation picture of the entire class and my Mother's shorthand book.
