When this class picture was taken, Oct. 2, 1914, of the one room Young School, it was located on a corner one mile west of the present Young's Chapel and one mile north of the new Young Consolidated School. Within a few years, the school burned and a new one had to be built; it was used until the consolidation of 1941 with Raymond Richardson as Principal. The old school house was then sold to Love School District. The site is now covered with oil wells. The school is named for Marion County's first family, the Youngs, who settled here in the 1820's on a farm that was to provide very generously for their descendants over a century later.

My aunt says this is either Wamac school or Richview school. It was the only year all three kids went to school together. In identical black sweaters, pictured in the bottom two rows are Fred Frazier, Leroy Frazier and Alberta Frazier.
