This rural school house building still standing in section 6 of Polk township at the corner of Rinaker road and Finch road was the Raffurity School District 91. It was the first school district organized in Polk township. A part of the district was also in Chesterfield, Bird and Western Mound townships. The old school house is on the James Wheeler farm and had been in miscellaneous use as a farm storage building following the closing of all rural school districts during the consolidation of the rural schools in 1948.

I was recently in county. To my surprise, there is at least one one-room schoolhouse still standing. On Finch Road in Polk township. The school doesn't appear in the 1932 USGS map that includes schoolhouses. Does anyone know what the school is called? I will send a picture to the website if asked. Complete with water pump and storm cellar. I peeked inside. Its pretty rough but the blackboards are still there. How long before chalk is just a memory?

I agree. Every time I see that I've got an e-mail from Gloria, I can't wait to open it. They're like receiving little "presents."

If you have info on The Onion Social Club, please copy Laura. Laura Large <mslojola@yahoo.com> gf ============= Hello! I am wondering if you have ever heard of The Onion Social Club? As a child, I was walking home from Staunton school through what we called Cotton Daegler's dump, and the Old catholic Cemetery in Staunton. I found a glass paperweight that read "Compliments of the Onion Social Club Feb.9, 1909" I have never been able to find out what or where this Onion Social Club was! The weight also had pictures of onions on it. I would appreciate any information you might have! Thank-you in advance for your time and consideration! Laura Large

If you have information, be SURE to copy Carolyn. gf Carolyn Foxworth <Ccfox21@comcast.net> Researching the Andrew and Mary Gaydos family that lived near the train station in Benld, IL.

Correction - I put Eli Hayes' date of death as "1945 in IL" - that is an error. Eli's date of death is sometime after1910 as he was living with grandson Jesse in OK according to the 1910 census.

They had son Charles Lysander Harris b. 1850 IL, d. 1904 IL married Luverba Mae Leak b. 1855 IL, d. 1937 IL (dtr of George Leak and Marietta Shroyer). They had daughter Minnie Izora Harris b. 1884 IL, d. 1914 MO. Charles Lysander was married a second time to Mary Elizabeth Swift Adcock and they had a daughter, Susan E. Harris b. 1893 IL, d. 1986 IL. Mary Ann Goins/Gowin mother, Charlotte of KY, whose maiden name could have been Bingham/Bingman, was the second wife of William C. Harris. Mary Ann's father could have been an Isaac Goins - no further info. George Russell and Mary Ann were step-brother/sister. They were living with parents William and Charlotte in 1850. Eli Hayes b. 1836 OH, d. 1945 IL married Sarah D. Sanborn b. 1838 NH, d. 1890 TN. They had son Thomas Elzia Hayes b. 1862 OH, d. 1945 IL. He married Florence Sharp aka Laura Florence Tow b. 1875 TN, d. 1958 IL. They had son Herman Edgar Hayes (my grandfather) b. 1895 TN, d. 1973 MO. I am especially interested in making contact with any descendants of Charles Lysander Harris for photo exchange. His children: Leslie Lamon/Lamond Harris Millie May Harris (married James Thomas Brown) Ada Luella "Ella" Harris (married Simon Hnery Sutphin) Livett Maud Harris (married Earl D. Arnold) Minnie Izora Harris Linna Lilla "Linnie" Harris (married Perry Edwin Hill) E. Media Harris died young. Susan E. Harris (married a William R. Bacon) I have photos of the Harris children and Luverba - none of Charles. Also photos of some of Aunt Ella Harris Sutphin's kids. I also have a photo of Susan E. Harris, and I believe her mother Mary Elizabeth Swift Harris. I'd love to hear from anyone related or with info and photos for exchange! Sincerely, Debra Hayes Brodbeck

Again thanks to George a photo of a school Honor Roll Board has been added along with the photo of the school (at bottom of page). I do not remember ever seeing one like this. Unfortuanately the picture is to small to transcribe the names. I f anyone has a transcription of this list, I will be glad to add it. Additionally any info about the school and its dates of operation would be appreciated. http://gillespieil.com/wilsonville/oldphotos.html Wayne http://gillespieil.com/gillespie/
