Comments:

Can anyone provide any additional background on Mrs. Simpson or the photo.
Three of the boarders have been found to beNational Normal University Students and I suspect most of the rest are as well.
[A copy of this photo is also in a collection of National Normal University photos at the Warren County Historical Society.]
