Fleck Family History & Genealogy

This is a detail from a school photo listed at https://www.ancientfaces.com/mystery/photos/details/index.cfm?25255. (Or look under Mystery Photos, surname Eakin). Please see there for all the information I have. I'd love to know if Walter is a relative of yours, and if you can share more info (I don't have any more than I've written in these Ancient Faces listings).

This is a school photo I bought from Ebay in the US. What lovely faces! All of the children's names are on the back in clear adult hand, and I've listed them below (click on arrow), front row first, l-r, then 2nd row, etc. Also 9 names are written sideways in a child's hand and spelling, and all those names are repeated in the larger list except "Irene Branden". 21 of the children have pencil or pen Xs on them; not all Xs are visible in the scan. One detail I think is striking is the one non-Caucasian or mixed-race student (Mary Rhinehart). I'm Canadian and not an expert on American racial history so I don't know if this is that unusual for this era of history, or perhaps a clue to the country or area.

These children are not relatives of mine and I am not researching any of these names. Another member commented below to say that s/he may have found some of the children in the 1910 census. The Ebay seller had no further information on where it was from. I would be thrilled to hear if you have information to share with me or if you have or might have found a family member here, but I don't know what school this is or where the photo was taken, or even exactly when (though I guess from 1900-1920, because of the big bows and very few short bobs, etc), so I can't give any more information on that. Check the comments below the names to see other members' thoughts.

It's a beautiful photo and I hope it helps with your research.

This photo has been in my family since I can remember. It is not a photo under glass.. It is a photo ON glass, as when you pick up a slither of the broken glass and hold it up to light it looks sort of like an X-ray. The little box is wooden, approx. 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches and about 3/8 inches thick. The box looks to be covered with embossed leather. Inside opposite the photo, is red embossed velvet, and around/framing the photo glass itself, may be filagree gold. I don't know what type of photo this is and would be interested in any information anyone could supply me as to what period this type was made and what type it is.. Thank You, Betty

This Photo was in the posession of my Mother, her maiden name was FLECK/FLICK. The person in this photo itself is an unknown, but I would assume it is in the FLECK/FLICK line.
