Andy Dussault, who now lives in St. Johnsbury, has set us a mystery to solve. His father Albert Dussault (1909-1985) was about seven years old in the photo shown here of the students at the Graves School, the district school in Waterford closest to where the boy lived with his family. Albert marked himself in the photo -- but who are the other students?
To help a little, here's a class list for the Graves School for 1915-1916. The teacher was Lottie Hill, whose family held farmland around the school.
Eight years later, the 1923-1924 class list shows four Dussault siblings -- as well as children from the Blair, Lamontagne, Maguire, Mulliken, Pierce, Voyer, and Prue families.
Here are two more photographs taken at the Graves School, with thanks to Andy Dusssault.
In a second post today, we feature Albert Dussault's autobiography, packed with details about growing into his work and community in the 20th century.
