Students from a Paulton, Pennsylvania school

Another in a series of photos from Bertha Smith Athya’s photo collection.

This one is a postcard. On the front side is a photo of a group of children from a school in Paulton, Washington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The back side has “Bertha Smith” and “Paulton, Pa.” written on it. That’s probably their one room schoolhouse behind the group.



I can identify Bertha—she’s the girl in the dark dress at the end of the second row—but no one else. Bertha was born in 1898 and I’m estimating her to be about 10 years old in this photo. If that’s the case, this photo would have been taken about 1908

Bertha is my husband’s grandmother.
