Pigeon Key Class photo 1923
A photo of the Pigeon Key School class, thought taken 22 December 1923, L-R: Katherine Kyle, Dan Sneed, Ken Kyle, Edna Hines, Edith Carmen (teacher) Anne Kyle, Esther Hines, Mildred Sneed, Peavy boy. This group is also in a DVD video clip 'The Railroad That Went to Sea' (A Ride Down The Keys clip) by Historic Tours of America, however, the movie appears to be reversed, kids saluting flag with 'left' hand. The Kyle children are those of the chief bridge tender of the 7 Mile Bridge, Robert Kyle, his older daughter, Tessie Kyle, (married: Tessie Frentzel) was the first schoolteacher on Marathon in 1928 after quite a few years without a school. Tessie Kyle also grew up on Pigeon Key and had brothers Zollie and Robert.
People in photo include: Tessie Kyle, Tessie Frentzel, Zollie Kyle, Robert Kyle, Robert Kyle Jr, Anne Kyle, Annie Kyle, Kenneth Kyle, Leone Kyle, Tessie Frentzel, Leone Kyle, Leone Kyle, Leona Kyle, and Robert Kyle Jr

Yes, it is a one-room schoolhouse, but it’s on the beach! The Pigeon Key class photo taken on December 23rd, 1923 in Florida.

We're guessing that's the stove in the center of the photo? It could be a photo prop or an art project. Looks like there is a bucket of paint or something in front.

I just adore it! My great grandfather is Carl Ebersole. I just love the note of the cousins in the class, too. I think the pic is around 1913/14ish...

Nadine, You're very observant. Now that you mention it I'm looking over the photo again and addressing the subtleties of the photo.

Maneo, I think having the 1 room school house is so special. The origins of American classrooms.

Shannon that'd be an interesting study to dive into. Finding single-room classroom troubles and disciplinary actions. Teacher would punish their students physically.. if my memory serves me correctly.
