Thanks to the donation of the picture and information below by
Dee Wheaton (Author of The Whitby Halsteads), we now have a picture
of Charles and Goldie Halstead (note arrows above their heads to the right
in the back row) standing in front of the Whitby School in the early 1900's.
According to Dee: The teacher in front center was Miss Daisy Lilly. This
is also at a location known as the ever flowing well. Charles and Goldie
were grandchildren of Alexander Halstead: One of the first Halsteads in
Raleigh County.
This picture is very important to Whitby due to the fact that almost all
of Whitby was made up of land from the Halstead farm. I will be doing more
research on the Halstead Cemetery as well after my visit to Whitby.
