You never know where you might find random bits of genealogy and history information. Who would ever think of researching the history of an area’s schools in the yearbooks of a different school?
I happened to randomly pull a 1966 Gator yearbook off of our shelves. It is the yearbook of Swartz Elementary School. Upon opening, I found pages and pages of history and photos about Loch Arbor, Colony and Swartz schools up until that time! My jaw was on the floor! This is priceless information on that area!
These are scans of the pages about Loch Arbor and Colony Schools. The next few posts will be about Swartz’s schools.
