This is a list for 1912 schools that were in Taylor County!! I have placed it on our School Page where we have tried to collect a little information about several schools. THIS list contains LOTS that I never heard of. We need your help on this one.....what do you know about any of these??? Were they "one room schoolhouses"? With only one teacher listed, I'm guess that was what they were. Wouldn't it be nice to know what a typical day was like? What they took in their lunch pail? What the school room looked like? I wonder if any report cards still exist from those days! Let's see what we can find out. (Butler Herald, Thursday, Oct 3, 1912) Schools will begin on the fourth Monday in October.

WALLACE provided the following list: Howard - Miss Mattie Julia Vanlandingham Wesley, Miss Garnet Smith Five Points - Miss Irene Perkins Midway - Miss Bessie Cox Crowell - R.L.
