Mystery School Photos..
Help us solve the mystery!
Lee Fritts (frittsl@suite224.net) is trying to identify a school appearing on three picture postcards (late 1800's - early 1900's). One card was postmarked 1907, from Knoxville to Nashville; a second postcard sent in 1909 (Knoxville to Nashville). The third card was unsent.
In the basketball team photo, the ball is inscribed with "Moses - '12- '13" (very common practice in early 1900 school photos). However, Knoxville's 9th Ward School was not renamed the Moses school until 1916. Could there have been another Moses school in the East TN area?.
The baseball and football uniforms also have a the letter "M" . An investigation revealed that these uniforms did NOT match those shown in old Maryville College annuals of that period.
Put your sleuth's hat on and join the search! Any help appreciated!
