c. 1900 Grammar School Photograph of Students & Mr. Kane, Thomaston, Maine



Circa 1900 photograph of female students and teacher Mr. Kane at a grammar school in the Rockland, Maine area. The photograph was taken by G. K. Merrill of Rockland.  

After researching the names of some of the students, I believe this school was located in Thomaston, Maine. There must have been a companion photograph of the male students.

  1. Hello - Margaret "Ryder" is actually Margaret O'Brien Rider, b. 8 April 1886. She was class president of Thomaston High School, Thomaston Maine class of 1905. I have a later photo of some of the same girls that are in the photo above. A graduation souvenir brochure lists Margaret O'B Rider as class president, Annie K. Jameson, class Vice President, F. Margaret Hellen, secretary and Fannie Miller Crute, treasurer.

  2. Shelley, thanks for adding this valuable information. I'm going to add the correct spelling of her name in brackets, above. It's neat that you've come across this earlier photo of the girls!
