The caption reads: "Sharon School in the 1940s. ; also see pp.76-77 - a partial transcription of this text is included here: "The Sharon or Edville School (also sometimes called Little Lake School) was built somewhere around 1871. One of the school's well-loved teachers, Muriel McDonald Reddick (1907-1960), composed a record of the school and community, based on her own and family reminiscences and on those of A.T. Walker, one of the longest-lived souls in the area. ..."
