   This card rewarded Frank Carter Sr. for his good work in De Leon’s school in 1888.  He was born in 1878 so he was probably in the fourth or fifth grade when he received this card.  It is signed by his teachers D.A. and Lola Martin.

    Frank was the first printer’s devil at the De Leon Free Press and worked for the telephone company for many years.

   Eight year old  second grader Richard “Dick” Carter, the younger brother of Frank, does not appear to be at the head of his class during the 1891-1892 school year.

     Notice that there were 27 in his grade.

   Dick became a long time merchant in De Leon before moving to Breckenridge where he worked for two other De Leon boys who owned the Chevrolet dealership.
