Three of Dolores and Luisa García's children appear in the photo: Altagracia (b. 1907), Natividad (b. 1908) and Gregorio "Gollo" (b. 1910). Altagracia and Gollo scratched their faces off the photo. Natividad is the mother of Louisa Franco Madrid who contributed this photo. This photo may be about 10 years before Miguel was bringing his children to this school, the Study Butte School.

Note: We hope to make this a very large section of Familias de Terlingua over time. Send us what you have on schools in the greater Terlingua area: the names of shcools, photos, and stories. In the meantime, see if you can identify people in the pictures above and let us know who they are.
