Viola Zeller holding baby Yvonne (in school window) 1928 at Valentine School district school on a visit to Penant, Sask from Nippewan Sask

This photo is from the Darrell and Viola Zeller family. They moved to a farm (owned previously by his father Otto and Edith Zeller) near Pennant, from previous homestead in Nippewan. In the photo, my husband’s grandmother holds his mother Yvonne as a baby in 1928. She and her brother Bob went to school there through the 30’s and early 40’s. I hope this is a welcome addition to your collection.

I hope descendants from families in the area can recognise loved ones and ancestors. It’s a beautiful building too and I’m sure was a hub for social gatherings as well.

Blessings

Thank you this is most delightful, and what a complement to the contemporary school marker to have an historical photo as well. Much appreciated.
