The building is now the Town Hall and the corner where this was taken is probably the supervisor's office.
Front row (l to r): Margaret Turnbull, Mabel Becker, Ruth Guttridge, Elsie Simenson, Maggie Banuat, Cora Shaw & Linnea Mattson; Further clarification - The picture commemorates the Dedication of the Grange Hall - the new building necessary because the Hall in Pepacton, due to the dam, was no longer available. For quite a few years, the meetings were held in rooms over the A & P store (no longer there) on main street until there was enough money raised to build the new Hall on Tannery Rd. Gale was given a gift because she served as Bible Carrier during the Dedication Ceremony. It is that gift that she is holding. Howard & Idabel Tait are Gale's grandparents. Sadly, these are all deceased except for Gale. Margaret Turnbull & Margaret Salton were both teachers at Downsville Central School and were among the best that school ever had. If a student didn't know or understand something, they usually knew why. --Harriett Schultz, September 2, 2005 photo courtesy of Becky Stanton --August 29, 2005 --identification by Betty Watson and Hariett Schultz (mother of little girl)
