Joyce Tice,

I have been using the Tri-Counties website to research the Mansfield Classical-State Normal School. My husband's great grandmother, Sarah Kern Grist is listed as a 1868 alumni of Mansfield State Normal School. I have also found information on her father, M.L. Kern who was a Methodist Episcopal minister in the Tri-Counties area. Thank you so much for providing this information and helping me make ancestors more that just a name.

As a thank you for the information I have received from the site I would like to offer some photos. I have several group photos that I believe are Sarah's classmates (and possibly instructors) taken by Spencer's Gallery of Art in Mansfield. The only identification on the photos are of Sarah.

Fordyce A. Allen from yearbook in Joyce's Collection - here for comparison. This photo is of older Prof. Allen than shown at left. While the hair is parted on different sides, it is entirely possible that this one is presented in mirror image to fit the layout of the page I found it on.
