Classmates in Autumn of 1898

The only known Hartford graduate in this photo is Jennie Ray HHS 1894. The HHS graduate database also shows her married name of Tift. Jennie looks older than the rest, so she may have been a teacher, as she graduated 4 years prior to this photo in the Autumn of 1898. Edna Keasey lived on a farm on Summit Road outside of South Haven, so it is possible that these are South Haven students who came to the Whitney Studio in Hartford for a class photo with their teacher, Jennie Ray, who was a 1894 Hartford graduate?

Please email the webmaster if you know any of these people and when they graduated from where.
