1880s
EDUCATION
Schooling for the children was an
early priority. Nannie Blaine Underhill was the first teacher. The first
school, a crude cabin of upright logs, was soon replaced by a better
building of local brick. Teacher Isa Caldwell is in the doorway. She
began teaching in 1882 and taught all grades in the one room school.
