York School
30th of May - Photo – York School, Smithfield Twp.
Thanks to Parkinson Family for photo!
York School, Smithfield Township {Article and photos provided by chapter member, Rena Goss} One of the photos Rena inherited is of York School and is most likely from the 1890’s. No identities are known. Perhaps all those in the picture were not students. Rena inherited these photos from her parents, Sterling and Faye (Grove) Glover. Written on the back of the photo, "This was York School when I went to school," Mary E. Parkinson.
By 1914, the school had the shutters removed and a porch added at the main door. There are two 1914 photos with those in the photo in different places. Robert and Dorothy (Bradac) Glover, of Jewett, Ohio have one photo which Robert’s father, Harold Glover, made a complete list of all the student’s names in the picture. The other photo is in the possession of John and Judy Parkinson of York. John’s mother, Gertrude (Calderhead) Parkinson, made a list of the student’s names with just a few blanks. She was a local history buff and collected many pictures of York School. Where there is an * indicates where a disagreement or omission between the Glover and Parkinson photo indentation occurred
