The Friendship School is located near the Alabama border in Chattahoochee County, Georgia. At the time of this post, the Rosenwald database is down. I am guessing this was a three-teacher type school.

This markers contains a great deal of imagery. The broken column represents a life cut short. The hourglass serves as a reminder as that life on earth is short. The angel with staff represents Father Time. A fuller explanation is that the symbols collectively communicate the story of the Weeping Virgin.
