Sepia photograph showing a group of 14 schoolchildren and their teacher from an unknown Gilman, (Marshall County) Iowa school. Writing on the back reads "Cornelius Strand, Gilman, Iowa" repeatedly. There is also a heart on the back, suggesting that the writer is romantically interested in someone in the picture.
Black and white photograph showing twenty schoolchildren of various ages (younger students at the front; older at the back) and their teacher. The boys wear suits, while the girls wear dresses with high-top shoes. The school is not identified but is likely part of the Poweshiek County (Iowa) Rural School system.
