Ceil, Northfield School was two miles north of Phelps on UU Highway. It was located in the northeast corner of the intersection of UU with the road from Miller. The building was purchased by Paul Kabell and moved to the farm where Jim Kabell now lives to be used for storage. Golda Kabell's house was constructed on the school site. The last year of school at Northfield was the 1951/1952 school year. Dale West Longview, TX
All, Our family, John A and Thelma Stewart and we kids, left Halltown in the early summer of 1953. I went to first, second and third grade in Halltown school. My first year I remember all eight grades being together and one parent who wouldn't let her son go on to Miller to school until his sister could go to. Second grade was in the same little rock one room school building with the old fashioned steps up the front and double doors to get in. They even rang an old fashioned school bell. Between second and third grades they built two more rooms and a cafeteria and divided the old school into two rooms. The old building is still there and has school as usual, but the front steps are gone and the entry is in the back. I plan to visit in a couple of weeks...does anyone want pictures? When they added rooms must have been when the other country schools closed and more kids came to Halltown. When I was in second grade (51-52) we started riding a small school bus instead of walking into town. Ah, for the memories.
