Notes:
1. Clicking on the thumbnail photo will enlarge the photo.
2. The class rosters were typed from the information on the photos & most likely added in more modern times from church records, thus the reason that some people were unable to be identified. Please take note that some photos have more people than names.

~Photos (unless otherwise credited) were contributed by Margo Harbridge, granddaughter of Elsie (Fischer) Meyer, confirmation class Palm Sunday 1906.

Thank-you Margo!
