I would date this photo to about 1916. I am going by the fact that Estill Bradshaw and Annie Mae Messer were both born in 1900,
so I don't think the "1923" date could be correct. Also, Estill was married, had a child and lived in Logan County, West Virginia in the 1920 Census.
It appears that James "Jim" Hudgins and Richard Field Lewis were born in 1900 but I can't verify that, as I'm only going by the 1900 and 1910 census records.
All persons identified left to right.
{back row} Charlie Walker, Thomas "Tom" Hudgins, Arch Lewis or Harry Williams*, (unidentified), (unidentified), (unidentified),
John Messer, Edna Mayo and Sadie Mayo.
{middle row} (unidentified), James "Jim" Hudgins, Richard Field Lewis, Frank Lewis, Nellie Hall and Mahalie Hall.
{front row} Esther Irene Pope & Madge Williams**, Estill Elizabeth Bradshaw, Mabel Crawford, Hattie Counts, Dollie B. Shepherd, Nell Hudgins, Annie Mae Messer
and Hattie Robinson (teacher).
Unidentifed persons are Frank Pope, Ambill "Ambie" Hill and Walter Williams, as well as either Harry Williams or Arch Lewis.
Of course, I was only able to identify my maternal grandmother's sister, Estill Bradshaw, and my paternal grandmother's sister-in-law, Annie Mae Messer.
All others identified by relatives of mine who are in various ways related to many individuals in the photograph.
*Some say Arch Lewis and others say Harry Williams. As I'm not a descendant of either, I have no idea.
**Uncertain which one is Esther Pope and which one is Madge Williams.

My maternal grandmother, Gladys Arminta (Bradshaw) Morris, is the younger sister of Estill Elizabeth (Bradshaw) Cox,
in this photograph of the "older" students. My strong assumption is that this was taken the same day...same teacher!
Apparently, primary and secondary students.
Currently, I've only been able to identify three children! (I have yet to take and/or send this picture to relatives down your way.)
Maybe some folks who view the genweb site will able to identify other children. I looked up the neighboring children (born between 1905 and 1910)
to the secondary students in the photograph already posted. I know it is a lot of names but I figure if someone sees a "family" name, they're more
likely to look at the picture more closely in order to identify one of their ancestors! To date, here is what I have....
1916 Fourmile School (primary students) in Leon, Carter County, Kentucky
{first row} Millie Gee, (unidentified), (unidentified), and Lillian Pope with teacher, Hattie Robinson (seated)
{second row} All persons unidentified.
{third row} Gladys Arminta Bradshaw on far left with all other persons unidentified.
Edna B. Artis (daughter of John D. Artis and Ida Mae Pope) is one of the students but currently unable to identify her.
Below are names of possible individuals. Forgive me if I misspelled names, as I was only able to go by census records.
I would date tis photo to about 1916 to 1918. My Mamaw Gladys Bradshaw was born March 10, 1908.
Amelia "Millie" Margaret Gee was born 1909 and Lillian Catherine Pope was born 1910. They look about 8, 7 and 6, respectively.
Below are names of possible students.

I did see Opal's name (Opal Williams) as a possibility in this photo, along with her brother Merle and sister Kuzzula.
As all 3, plus a younger sister, are in the picture I have (of them at Aden School) , I doubt they went to Four Mile.
