Elaine Blackman Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 2:08 PM Subject: Re: [ARGREENE] Eubanks I assume when you asked about the relatives in Michigan that you are talking about decendents of Thomas Lee Eubanks and Jo Ann Johnson Drake Eubanks. I personally know all their decendents through my generation. Thomas Lee had three children by his first wife Stella Bonham. They were Telfair who lived in Arizona. Harry who lived in Paragould (Greene County) and Buena Eubanks Lassiter who lived in Muscogee, Oklahoma. The seven children of Thomas Lee and Jo Ann were Cecil, Dessie Eubanks Malone-died in St. Mary's Georgia, Ruby Eubanks Dean--died in Caruthers, California, Essie Eubanks Rust--died in Ohio, Elmer--died in Flint, Michigan, Zelma Eubanks Graves--died in Caruthers, California, (Zelma and Elmer were twins) and Thomas--died in Phoenix, Arizona. The decendents in Michigan would be four children of Elmer and Vanita Eubanks. These are Regina Eubanks Lacey, T. J. Eubanks, Cheryl Eubanks ______, Anita Eubanks. They all live in the Flint area.

Linda, I have a little bit on the Noel's. One of my Walls relations married a Noel and I've done some research on them. They came here from Gibson Co., TN. David Noel married Almedia Walls. I know they moved to Marmaduke/Halliday area, where Almedia's father Solomon was a preacher and landowner. David is probably the father of Edmond. There is a Noel history at the Greene Co. library. There are still alot of Noel's here in Greene Co and they are all related.

Thanks, Mike. I appreciate the information. Now that I think of it, I remember hearing that Miss Elsie taught there. Debra

Debra Walker, just for your information, St. Paul school district #50 was established on March 7, 1889. During the 1934-35 school year, enrollment had grown to 99 students and the district employed 2 teachers. One of these teachers was my great-aunt Elsie (Calvert) Schug. Total revenue received that year was $1001.00. The total assessed valuation of the district was $48,205,00. This district was consolidated into the Dixie school system July 4, 1938. -----Original Message----- From: Tina Easley <tina@grnco.net> To: ARGREENE-L@rootsweb.com <ARGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [ARGREENE] High school >There was also the Miller School in the coffman community but I don't know >if it was a school then it waswhat is now the Mulberry Church except the >old church house.

Carol, The school on Highway 412 East (east from Paragould) toward the bootheel of Missouri, between Tom Kirk Chevy-Olds and the St. Francis River was originally called Lakeside School. It might have included the high school grades at one time, but in the 60s it only went through grade 8. Later it became East Elementary (part of the Greene County Tech School System), and a few years ago it was abandoned as a school. South School, on Highway 49, south of Paragould, was once, I think, Greene County High. It too was part of the Greene County Tech school system. It is now a vo-tech school. I believe all of these schools were built by the WPA during the depression and were probably all high schools until the smaller school districts consolidated. Seems like I remember reading that in the early years, there were no public high schools. Schools were formed by "subscription," meaning that the residents paid so much money to pay a teacher and to buy supplies. There were "school houses" in just about every community, many did double duty as churches. My parents, for instance, went to St. Paul School which was in the Schugtown Community. I think my mother told me there was only one teacher for all the students. That would have been in the 30's. Debra

That is the old Lakeside school that ended up being part of the Greene County Tech school system. My father grew up not far from there and I can ask him if there was a school near the Coffman community back then.
