This is the 1940-41 one room school class
of Oakdale school, on Lay Spring Rd. Etowah County, Alabama. What is significant
about the group is it contains three Robershaw’s. In the top row center is older
brother Reginald.[ could not get him lighter] Brother Willie Jack is the 7th in
from the left in the fourth row down from top. And our sister LeMerle is the 3rd
one in from the left on the fifth row down . The teachers name is Mrs. Vera Crump
standing on the left side 3rd row down. I started to 1st grade at Bellevue Grade
in 1942, so this may have been the last class of Oakdale Grade School. Bettie Ruth Smith who supplied the photo through
a mutual friend, Pastor Ray Lewis of the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church, is in
the 2nd row down and the 2nd child in from left. Pastor Lewis has since retired
for the 2nd time now!! Click on Pictures for Enlargement! |

This is A G Robershaw, the youngest son of
William W. Robershaw & Maggie Galbreath. Our Dad, O B Robershaw was closer
to him in age and perhaps that is one reason our families got together more often
to visit. Also he was a Freewill Baptist minister, so my Mom could have been and
influence there. He and his family also shared the care of grandmother Maggie
later in her life |
