Another picture from the 1940 Barboursville, West Virginia Jr. High School. This is Miss. Rachel Bowles – third from left top row. According to census records she and her parents (Minor and Lulu B.) lived in Barboursville, WV in 1940 with 2 younger siblings of Rachel’s. Her father’s name appears as Milton in 1930, but I believe Minor is the correct name. Her mother is Bernice in 1930 and Lulu B. in 1940 – maybe Bernice is the middle name? They lived in the same county but different town 10 years earlier, in 1930. A birth record showed that Rachel’s middle name was Carolyn. She likely married a Smith – there is a death record for Rachel Carolyn Smith in Florida, 1966.
