Mound School

Mound School, a set on Flickr.

This photo was taken in 1928

This photo has 133 people in it and most people are unknown. Several of my great Aunts taught school at Mound School in Prairie Township in Shelby County, Illinois. Mound school was just south of Stewardson and north of Shumway in Banner township in Effingham county, Illinois. The first photo in the set has the people numbered. Below is list of known people in the photo.

1 - Possibly Mildren Bullerman - Daughter of Pearl and William Bullerman (see number 2)

2 - Pearl Williams Bullerman - I am not 100% sure on this one but Bullerman is written over her head so she seems the most likely person. Pearl was the wife of William Bullerman who was the son of Mary Klarman (Mary was William Frederick's sister) and Henry Bullerman. She also taught school. The child she is holding may be her daughter Mildred.

4 - Lora Rentfro(w) Webb - Lora was the daughter of Eli Rentfrow and Margaret Ellen Shouse and married Harry Webb.
