Response from the web:

I was delighted to find your Star School/Martin site.  My mother was Naomi Hartman, sister of Victor, Helen, Loretta and Virginia.  Unfortunately, she is not shown in any of the photos on your site.  I was hoping you might have additional pictures that you would be able to share.  My Grandfather’s farm (William Hartman's) was adjacent to the school. Last time we drove by the area it was overgrown with trees. We used to walk there from my Pop’s farm and I do remember the building, before it was torn down, and the well . Thank you for posting the photos.  --Dianne Ely
