| Flat Rock Academy, Clayton County,
Georgia, 1891. Teacher, John David Humphries,
assistant teacher, Dora Humphries, in doorway.
|
| The Flat Rock School began in Flat
Rock Baptist Church, near Riverdale Road, two miles
South of the City of Manchester, now College
Park. At this time, this school had 28 "patrons"
who agreed to sponsor the equivalent of 34 pupils,
primarily from Clayton County. John D. Humphries
had to call on the patrons personally to collect these
"accounts." A portion of the financial support
came from the Clayton County and Campbell County
School Funds because some of the students came from
Campbell County. Teacher Humphries traveled by
train to Manchester to collect this "voucher" account.

Howard Academy was a school once
attended by the Humphries children, John, Joe, and
Dora. In 1891, when this photo was made,
Joseph Humphries was teaching (standing at rear) and
Lillie Jones (fourth row from bottom, second from
left), who was later to marry John D. Humphries, and
her sisters, Laura (second row from bottom, third
from left) , and Emma (third row, sixth from left),
were pupils. Nellie Bernice Jones was 10 years
younger than Laura and attended later.
