This picture was contributed by Darlene Lercher Smith. She does not know the names of the people in the picture. Do you? She believes that they include Anna May Irving Lercher and her sister Lela Jane Irving Downing.
These are notes by Anna May Irving Lercher, Darlene's grandmother, that were with the picture.
You are invited to attend the 3rd annual reunion of the Cornland School to be held at the M.E. Church in Cornland on June 9, 1935. Picnic dinner at noon. Come and meet friends you have not seen for years.
Greetings to all my friends present at the 1937 Cornland School Reunion: Owing to a bit of bad luck I am not with you in person today, but am thinking
of the nice time I know you will have.
I am glad to say that I am on the upgrade again, and am looking forward to
celebrating the 1938 Reunion with you.
Good luck, and a happy day to all.
Your Old Teacher - C. F. Lanham
