I have an old picture of my grandfather, Silas Justin Wilton, as a teacher, with his pupils outside of what appears to be a rural school. On slate boards held by the students the following information is written:
'Cedar Bluff school, Dist no 5, Nov 2 1905, Prof J Wilton teacher.' There is no indication of where this school is located.
My grandfather was also a Methodist minister/evangelist. A list of his pastorates show that in 1910 he was in South Coffeyville and Delaware, OK. Therefore, I am wondering if this school might have been the one in/near Coffeyville.
I'm hoping someone can tell me if there are old school records available that might list teachers and, if so, how to find them.
Thank you for any help you can give me. This is my only clue, at present, to my grandfather's whereabouts between 1902 and his marriage to my grandmother in 1909 near Springfield, Mo.
