Posted on: Benton Co. Mo Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Benton/11052 Surname: SWEARNGIN, BROWN, ESTEP ------------------------- I believe that the school was named after a local family with the last name of "Feaster". There were a number of them that lived in the area. The school sits right on what I have always known as "Feaster Branch", a small arm off the Lake of the Ozarks. The school building still stands, but has been converted into a home. Steve Swearngin
