1907 Haw Creek School Photo

HAW CREEK SCHOOL, 1907

August 15, 1907
Jno. Black, Teacher

I received this from Maggie Miller Gober who now lives in Odessa, TX. She was born at Haw Creek and is a grandaughter of Reverend Charley Hill and Julia Odom Hill. The only two we can positively identify are: We believe the older lady sitting down in the 3rd row, person #2 could be Sarah Francis Wiles Huckaby. She and her husband David Warren Huckaby, deeded the two acres to be used for the Haw Creek school/church/cemetery.

More children were identified by Sadie Hairrell Gregory, daughter of Emil Hairrell and Prudie Janway. All the identified people are marked in the photo above.

Updated 5/29/2020: I have two more students identified in this picture. Dovie Howze is in the 2nd row from bottom, 4th from left. Martha Jane Howze is in the 3rd row from bottom, 7th person. These were identified by Curtis Howze, a Howze family descendant.

We think Sarah Emma Seaman is in this picture. She married Amos DeHart of Haw Creek. They are the parents of Emma DeHart who married John Jacob Miller.

If anyone can identify any of the other children in this old photo, or if you have information about this, or the history of Haw Creek, please contact:
