If you have any details about the likely location where the photo was taken please  email Jim here.

I have what I believe to be an school photo taken somewhere in the Morrowtown ID area ca. 1900.

Pictured in it are my Grandmother Cora Bell Norton (back row third from left), two of her sisters, Hattie Norton (back row second from left) and Myrtle Norton (middle row third from left), and her brother Alford aka Alphia Norton (back row far left).

Grandma was born in Salem OR in 1884, moved to the Pullman area with her parents Cyrus and Mary Ann Norton and family in 1885. The Nortons moved to a homestead SW of Morrow in 1893. Grandma is in her teens so the photo would have been taken about 1900 or maybe and little earlier or later. An annotated biography for Cyrus Norton is attached.

Perhaps others will find their ancestors in the photo. I can provide a higher resolution scan if needed.

If you have any records, photos, family information, etc., we would love for you to share.  Or if you have questions or suggestions, please drop me a line.
