Sepia postcard photograph (3 7/16 x 5 1/2) of William Faulkner 's [Falkner] sixth grade class of thirty-five students, taken by the teacher, Miss Essie Eades
1909
Photograph

The photograph originally belonged to Ralph S. Muckenfuss , Falkner's deskmate at the time, and is accompanied by a handwritten letter, 8 April 1962, from Muckenfuss together with his incomplete identification of the students in the picture. Further research has proved to identify most of the young students, one of which was Victoria Oldham (d. 1919), the future Estelle Faulkner's younger sister. Five of the children were future graduates of "Ole Miss" and are included in its 1920 spring annual as a graduating senior: Myrtle Ramey , Mary Paine Wendell , Rosa Hargis , Annie Lee (Sparks) Walker , and John Lee Linden .
