Banks School Class about 1920
Wish I had more info about the folks in this photo, but I
only know that
the picture is of a class at Banks School, Banks, AR. sometime around
1920.
The gent in the cool overalls (fifth from left, top row) is my
father, Lawrence Peebles.
He was born in 1906, and assuming he was in the ninth grade (or therabouts) when this picture was taken,
I believe the time period to be in the early 20s.
Maybe someone will recognize a parent or grandparent in the Banks School about this time. ~ Baker
NEW INFORMATION!
"Talked to two ladies from Banks the other night and they "think" the following people are portrayed in the photo:
Bottom row: 3rd from left is Louniel Steelman, and 5th from left is Virgie Blythe.
Back Row: 4th from left is Toomie Weeks (5th my father Lawrence Peebles) and 6th from left is Smith McDiarmid.
They are going to "look at it a while" and try to idenfify more. ~ Baker

Citizens Center, the local store in Banks and at a couple of churches in the area and came up with these names. ~ Baker
