Cool Branch School Desk

Back in October  2017, I bought this little desk at an estate sale down the road. It came from the Cool Branch School which hasn't existed for decades.

The desk is so small, it must have been used by first or second graders. 

In the 2007 edition of Franklin County Virginia Yesterday and Today (that I also bought at the same sale), there's a picture of the school and some students from days gone by.

I wonder which child in the picture sat at the desk I bought. The boy on the far right? The little girl in the middle of the front row, maybe? Perhaps, at one time or another, they all did.

A former student of Cool Branch passed away in January. His obituary mentions that his education begn at Cool Branch. I wondeer if he used this desk.
