This is the school in Leesville, Missouri, Henry County, as it was in 1906. Laura's father,
Nola A. Higdon and siblings are pictured here. The sign reads, "Leesville School" and,
what appears as, "Mr. Sloan, Teacher." See below for more details.

One other Higdon boy, Wilber Jewel was too young to attend school at the time of this
picture. He was born in 1902. Another boy, Theodore Paul, 1912-1998, was born after the
family had moved from Missouri to Arkansas.
