Donna, I am not sure when the school closed. I had a couple of cousins go there. And they are around the age of 48-50. It was an elementary school. From there they would attend high school in Blytheville or I had a couple of aunts who finished at Gosnell High school. Gosnell was really was closer. Have you ever heard of Ms. Ann Marie ROSS? She taught at Yarbro until it's closing. She then went to Lange Elementary. She taught first grade there until her retirement. She lived her entire life in Yarbro. She was a great teacher! And a great lady! If I think of anymore, I'll let you know. Thanks, Pam

I will be glad to check the pictures from Keiser School when I get home. Will also look for the names that several of you have requested. May take a while, but will keep them and check when we go down. I live in West Memphis, AR which is about 40 miles from Osceola but we drive up there ever so often. By the way, while we are on sports. I played basketball when I was in school and the meanest players in the county were from Keiser!!!!(Course they were good too!) hehe Joyce

She must have really been something. My GGrandfather was a school teacher there. John F. Morse, he may have taught some of the children. Is there any info on the schools there? I think they probably sent the children to Blytheville for schooling. Wish we knew more. Its is a good bet that our kin knew each other being that the town was so small. If you think of anything else I would love to know. I am putting any tidbits with my family history. Have a good day Thanks So Much.

They had 14 children! Grandpa Whittle died in a local cafe (which was owned by grandma's relative) of a massive heart attack.

She raised her 14 kids alone...she never remarried. She died in 1980. There was a Cotton Gin, Yarbro school and a small store, that I remember. Hwy 61, which was the main hwy. from St. Louis to Memphis, TN. When I-55 opened it killed Yarbro, as the interstates did to most small towns. I have written to the Chamber of Commerce for any info or history of Yarbro, but there is none, which I find sad, because it was a thriving community at one time. Hope this helps some! Good Luck!
