Fairhaven Elementary School
Fairhaven Elementary School
According to Ruth Nicola, Fairhaven Elementary School burned down. Can anyone tell what year this happened?
Three photos and description provided courtesy of Ruth Rodgers Nicola.
My grandmother was Theresa Lostetter and she was born in 1892. She was the daughter of Jacob and Caroline Lostetter and they moved to the Overbrook (then Baldwin) area sometime between 1881 and 1900. Theresa is not in the 1895 picture. Her cousin Maggie Lostetter is in that photo.
Theresa and her sister Carrie are in the photo that was taken around 1902. Carrie is in the front row fifth girl from either left or right. Theresa is the taller girl in the second row and she is the first girl starting from the right in the second row. She and her sister Carrie are wearing matching dresses. I'm hoping by telling you their location in the photo you might be able to match the other children to the names on the back.
Theresa married William R. Rodgers and they lived on Seldon Street.
