I don't know the exact school but think it might be Clark Chapel, in the early 1900's. School teacher is A.W. HANNAH SR.
I know he taught there at one time but also at a few others in the county. I don't know any of the children's names in the photo.
It was definitely a one room school house by the ages of the students

The remaining four children: Henry Shelton Cumbie, Wm. Millard Cumbie and John William Cumbie are not pictured here. Wm. Millard died at the age of ten and was the child just older than Rufus. There was another daughter Sarah Ann Elizabeth, born before Rilla but she died as a baby. John W. and Henry were certainly alive at this time and John and wife and family can be seen in another family portrait on this sight, as can Henry and his wife Amanda. Wm Hillery Cumbie, in this portrait, is one of John and Talitha Harry Cumbie's children. Charles Cumbie was the son of Reuben Cumbie and Sarah McCall. Sarah was the granddaughter of James McCall who was a Lieutenant Colonel (South Carolina) in the American Revolution. McCall is listed on an Internet site which denotes those commissioned and non-commissioned officers who served during that period.

In Union Grove----in front of the house we see EUDORA BLAYLOCK CUMBIE being carried saddleback by two of her five daughters. IVAN CUMBIE GANT and BSSIE CUMBIE STEWART are the daughters. Mrs. Gant was the wife of Martin Lloyd Gant and Bessie the wife of Grover Cleaveland Stewart. All three of these wonderful ladies are interred in Liberty Cemetery just outside Greenwood.
Judging from the shadow cast by the photographer, I would be willing to bet it is the eldest daughter Minnie Cumbie Bassett who was married to J. Carl Bassett and is also buried at Liberty. I would be the great grandson of Eudora through her son Joseph Walker Cumbie and his wife Laura Drake Cumbie (of Perryville). Their son Eugene Arden Cumbie was my father

Handwritten Information provided on the reverse of the photo from Hubert Lawerance (the last boy on the right-in second row of boys standing at front of train.) Circa early 1890's.
"The first run of the train to Lavaca Arkansas. My grandfather donated land on his farm to the railroad for a right-of-way. He and other farmers thought the railroad would help the area farmers get their produce to market. But automobiles and truck came into use soon and the railroad trains were not much help to them." Stamped "Southern Photograph Co., C. G. Morledge, Manager, Fort Smith, Ark."

Photo from approximately 1905-1910 of the Bonanza Band, from Bonanza township, Sebastian County, AR.
The only person I know in the photo is my Great-Great Grandfather, Harry Lewis Bridges, seated in the 2nd row, 3rd from right - can barely see what looks like a brass horn in his hand.  He's seated behind the man in front with the French horn. Can you identify any of the others?

Reeves Coal Mine in Hackett, AR.   Front row, first man on right is my great uncle, Frank Lewis Bridges - he was killed at this mine during an accident. A cable snapped loose and almost sliced him in half.  He died a few hours later at 32 yrs old. Can you identify any of the others?  I believe this was taken around 1940ish.

Taken approx 1903-1905 somewhere near the Arkansas River - this crowd consists of friends from the Maness community, before Ft. Chaffee came & took it all over.
Maggie B. Hayes =  first row, fifth person from left.
Daniel Hearlston Johnson = first row, sixth person from left.
Charles C. Hayes = first row, 4th person from left w/out hat.
Notice, some of the men & women have exchanged hats & bonnets. This was likely taken near the area of Lock & Dam 13 in Sebastian county, near their Maness homes.

My grandfather, Fred Seaman Caldwell, son of John H. and Alma Ann Jones Caldwell, of Mansfield, preserved this photo and I presume, typed the names of the teacher and all of the pupils and kept it with the photo. Fred was born in Mansfield in 1898 and would have been about 7-8 years old in this photo. ------ by Tom M. Short II

This is a pic of my Grandfather Lester (Jack) Spencer he’s the oldest boy in picture to the left of him I believe this to be his step brother Hugh Fulford and his mother Viola Nolen Spencer Fulford Schaffer. I have no clue who rest of the kids are - on the back of picture says KD studio jun 1941 and has to be a reprint cuz my grandfather would be in his 30s and he looks no older then maybe 16. If anyone can help me with unknown children or have any information   would be great help. Lester (Jack) Spencer was born Feb 14 1904 in Jenny Lind Arkansas and died on Dec 17 1980 in Fresno Cali . In a 1920 Census they have him listed as Lester B Spencer I haven’t found any doc’s that uphold his middle name starting a B.  Lester’s Father was James (Jim) W Spencer His wedding cert says he was born 1880 but 1910 Census has him down for 1880.and his death is unknown. James and Viola were married on May 14 1907 in Sebastian County . Lester’s Mother was Viola Nolen she was born est 1886 in Adamsville Tennessee and her death is unknown at this time.
 She went on to marry two other men after Jim and her divorced Her second husband was Hugh Fulford he was born est 1876 his death is unknown. They were married on Aug 11 1915 and they had one son Hughy Fulford who I believe later became a Rev. Her third husband was George S Schaffer he was born ast 1883 in Tennessee and died on Nov 2 1930 in Sebastian Ark. They were married on Feb 17 1918 in Jenny Lind .  In 1920 they lived in Rogers and in 1930 they lived in Upper Any information anyone can provide would be great as my search on Ancestry has left me with more questions then answers. I do believe my grandmother middle name was Viola but I haven’t been able to prove that at this time.
