In the picture of the Christopher Baptist Church Sunday School Class, Sylvia L. Buckner, daughter of John Logan Buckner, is in the second row from the rear, second from the right. She was a talented pianist and not only played the piano for the services, but also gave piano lessons to others when she was just a teen. Elvia L. Buckner and Nancy Emmaline (Nina) Buckner, younger sisters of Sylvia are possibly also in this picture, but I cannot identify them.
I know none of the other names. They may be among the members listed above. John Logan Buckner, b August 08, 1868 d August 16, 1930 send this picture to his daughter, Sylvia, after she had moved away from home. Thus, the photo was taken sometime after 1910. Nancy Emmaline (Nina) Buckner b Oct 1896 and her brother Roy Buckner b Oct 1898 were the last born children of Tabitha Hammons Buckner, wife of John Logan Buckner. Tabitha died December 17, 1898.
