No Unauthorized Commercial Use of this Material Permitted

from Photo in possession of Bob LEFLER of Paul Smiths, NY. Scanned and formatted by Joyce M. Tice

Year not identified but has to be very early 1880s based on birthdates of the people in the photo. The photo was sent in by Bob Lefler who believes it may have been taken the same day as the Pumpkin Hill School photo on the Rutland Township page. It is an interesting and certainly possible theory. This causes Bob to wonder how many other school photos are floating around "out there." Hopefully more of them will find their way to these pages where we can all enjoy them. 

The Jobs Corners School was in use from the 1830s until the 1940s. It was across the Pumpkin Hill Road from the Jobs Corners Baptist Church, next to the Carley Farm on the north and the Shorts' little Red House on the south. The Carley barn shows on the right of the photo.

Most people in the photo have not been identified, Bob can give identification only for his own family members. 1. Second from left, in dark clothes, CARRIE CARLEY - who later taught here. 2. Second from left in row of little girls (5) sitting down, LILLIAN MAY LEFLER. 3. Teacher - tentaviely identified as ___________SHEPARD, 4. Little boy on porch, far left, MARK ROCKWELL LEFLER, 5. 2nd - African American Boy, _SHORT. 6. Right of post, CLARENCE CARLEY. 7. Right of second post, standing on porch: FRANKIE CARLEY. 8. Head in "on" Frankie's left elbow (4th girl in group) HATTIE CARLEY. NOTE from Bob: All Carleys were also Updikes and Stillwells. All Leflers were also Rockwells, Cossarts and Daggetts.
