This is a scan of photo of the students
attending Terrace Hill School in Waterford in1919. Researcher Howard
Ray Lawrence
of Mokelumne, California, the owner of this photo, emailed us
the scan 26 Sep
2010. The original photo was taken by E. S. B. Moore of Simcoe. Howard could identify only two people in this photograph, his mother student Ida May Sharp and the school's owner and principal, O. U. Robinson. Terrace Hill was a post-secondary business school that taught bookkeeping, typewriting, etc. to future office employees. In some instances Terrace Hill may have been an alternative to senior high school, particularly for those returning from World War I, or for those in a rush to secure office employment. See a letter from Mr. Robinson on Terrace Hill stationary recommending Miss Sharp to prospective employers. Our identifications of those in
the photo should be
considered tentative until confirmed via multiple sources. Generally
speaking, the older the "last updated" date on
each bio web page, the higher our confidence that the identification is
correct. |
