Lower Waterford School, 1909: Families of the Village

What could you donate to the Waterford Historical Society that would help describe Waterford a century ago -- or today? This item was found during the January 2020 archives work session (click on the photo to see it clearly):


Bullock, Dodge, Goss, Hale, Hemingway,  Morrison, Ross, Smith, Wright -- most of these are still names you may come across in Lower Waterford families today. This is a colorful "souvenir" of the summer term that ended July 1, 1909, a good reminder that school terms were far different when they needed to allow for agriculture.
