I am hoping to find a member of Walter’s family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Who is the Baby

I did a web search for a Garrison School in Kansas or Oklahoma and there seem to be several. I have written to one. There are also others across the US and Canada. I can't guarantee which one it might be. If anyone can tell me, I would be delighted. I hope the names will give a clue to someone. I have also listed 2 children at the end of the list, who were absent on photo day, as they might help to i.d. the school. One of them was "transferred to Cleaveland School" which implies that the two schools were in the same district or at least well known to each other.
(I believe Miss Kinkaid was the main teacher and Ms Thompson was the secondary as a couple of the photos were ordered "Kinkaid 22")
