Oak Ridge School in New Madrid abt 1928 County

---

• The little girl, second from the left in the dark coat is my mother, Irene Alma Willoughby. Her brother, Eugene Lee Willoughby is also in the picture. I don't know which boy he is. Their parents were Ardell Hobson and Edna Mae (Gamble) Willoughby. I have the picture here in Florida and I will be seeing my mother in June and I will take it with me to have her identify her brother. She will be 81 this year and she seems to think the picture was taken maybe 1928 or 1929. Mom said the teachers name was Miss Patterson. I found a Gertrude Patterson, age 21 living as a boarder with the Robert M. Stevenson family in the Como Township in 1930. I don't know if Gertrude was her teacher or not.
