Circa 1900 photograph of students and teacher Mr. Kane at a grammar school in the Rockland, Maine area. The photograph was taken by G. K. Merrill of Rockland. After researching the names of some of the students, I believe this school was located in Thomaston, Maine.
I can't quite make out some of the names, and some of the names seem run on or missing the surname, but I'll do my best, and you can check the image itself. In the meantime, I'll be researching some of the names individually for later posts.
There must have been a companion photograph of the male students.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hello - Margaret "Ryder" is actually Margaret O'Brien Rider, b. 8 April 1886. She was class president of Thomaston High School, Thomaston Maine class of 1905. I have a later photo of some of the same girls that are in the photo above. A graduation souvenir brochure lists Margaret O'B Rider as class president, Annie K. Jameson, class Vice President, F. Margaret Hellen, secretary and Fannie Miller Crute, treasurer.

Shelley, thanks for adding this valuable information. I'm going to add the correct spelling of her name in brackets, above. It's neat that you've come across this earlier photo of the girls!
