I don't believe that Jones School is one I am referring to. The pictures that I have contain pictures of children who lived mostly on the Midway Route road. The Crook girls lived only a mile to the North of the Union Ridge Cemetery; the Sanderlins lived about a mile to the South of the Cemetery, the Niedringhaus kids lived about 2 miles, the Cunninghams lived near there, and Alva Lee and Bruce Wilson lived across the road from the Niedringhaus place. According to her daughter, Mrs. Lucy Mae (Owens) Haisty taught her first year at Scrouge Out. Mrs. Lucy (Culpepper) Bailey taught there, also. She graduated from high school about 1928-29. Would really like to hear more about this school.

Was it known as the Jones School. I have a couple of old photos with a group of children sitting outside. Among those were my mother's brother and sister, Kinsey and Edith Niedringhaus, Bernce and/or Virginia Crook, Olin and Louise Sanderlin, Raymond or Ralp Cunningham, and a few others. The teacher in one picture was Lucy (Culpepper) Bailey. Any comments on this? Kathryne<<<<<<<<< I have memories of church services being held in the old Scrouge Out Church in the early1930's but have never heard of it being used as a school. The building was old and getting in bad shape when I remember it. The Jones School was located about 3/8 to 1/2 miles due south of the end of the present day Babin Drive. that comes out of the UAM campus on the south side of the campus.The old road bed complete with the dictches and all still exists except the 300 ft or so that adjoins Bowser Rd My Mother In law Berite Andrews Stephenson told me she attended school there when she was a small child. That would have been in the 1910 to 1920 time frame.She referred to it as the Jones Mill School. I would love to have a copy of the picture if she is on it.
