HAW CREEK SCHOOL, 1907
The sign appears to read:
Haw Creek School
District 52
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:
