Names are listed in the order as shown on the record, there seems to be 


no particular reason.





* A relative who knew her says Charlie Collins was a girl.





This is from the attendance record and Kate Sisk, Hattie Parker, Mattie 


Parker, Charlie Collins and Royal Utley are listed as tardy on two 


occasions.  From this distance, considering the weather, distance 


they had to walk, chores to be done, this seems like a remarkable record 


for the school.
