Students of George Washington Clinch

Sent in by Cynthia Richardson.
This contains the names of the pupils taught by George Washington Clinch in four
different schools: Tilden Hill, Hecla, Lowell, and Maxon.

Names are taken from a typewritten list, possibly made from memory by Mr. Clinch as nicknames seem to be used, and one student is listed as "His Brother." Some names appear to be missing from the Hecla and Lowell lists. Spelling has been preserved. Information in italics is from Mr. Clinch's personal history.
