1913 Senior Class of Glendale Institute

​This photo from the Sam Feltner Photo Collection, catalogued as AG 9-23, has been identified as the 1913 Senior Class of Glendale Institute at Bumpus Mills. Note that the girls are holding diplomas.

The boys (left to right) are Gray Acree, Willie Fentress and Newman Brandon Jr.
The girls (left to right) are Margaret Cornelia Burke, Blanche Dashiell McCoy and Mary Connia Walker.

The graduation program comes from "In Memory of Newman Brandon Jr." by Anna Mary Tishel Brandon, recently loaned to the Archives for scanning by Mary Ann Dill Jordan. The program was the key to identifying everyone in the photo.

The Sam Feltner Photo Collection has been online since 2010 on the Stewart County Genealogy website at TNGenWeb. Since that time and thanks to crowd-sourcing, hundreds of people in the collection have been identified.
