CHRISTMAS PAST AT THE RUTHERFORD HOUSE:

Rebecca Coon loaned me some pages from her photo albums of a few of the past Christmas events that have taken place at the Rutherford house.

OAKLAND NATIONAL BANK

OAKLAND HERALD BANK AD-THIS IS THE BEST IMAGE I COULD GET OFF OF THE PAPER-

THE OLD BANK BUILDING- NOW A RESALE SHOP

JOHN RUTHERFORD WAS THE CASHIER- ALL THE WAY ON THE RIGHT...

OAKLAND SCHOOL POEM BY ANNA ESPY RUTHERFORD

ANNA WAS THE DAUGHTER OF DR HIRAM AND HARRIET RUTHERFORD- I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NICE ITEM SINCE SHE MENTIONS SO MUCH OF THE HISTORY IN IT. EVERYTHING FROM WHO BUILT IT AND WHEN TO THE TEACHERS AND HOW MANY CHILDREN WENT THROUGH THE DOORS.
