North School c1940
Earl Gene Henson, top row, second boy from the end.
My mom [Earl's sister] is in the second row, second girl from the teacher.

Here is that picture of my mom and her brother taken about 1940 at the North School in Christopher, Franklin Co., IL. When you look at it, you will find my Uncle Earl Gene Henson, top row, second boy from the end. He was 8 years old, and in the second grade. My mom is in the second row, second girl from the teacher. She was 6, and in the second grade. Now mom told me that the little girl in the bottom row, with her dark hair in pigtails, her name was Shirley but mom couldn't remember her last name but she was related to the Hensons also.

Could you post this picture for me to the group, I hope everyone enjoys it and who knows maybe someone will see it who is actually in the picture and it can bring back some memories.
