IT WAS A 3 ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE, HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL WE ONLY HAD ENOUGHT CHILDREN FOR ONE ROOM. MY DAD WAS BORN IN 1905 AND REMEMBERS THE RED SPOT ON THE FLOOR ONE OF THE OTHER TWO ROOMS AS BEING BLOOD FROM A FEMALE SHOT THERE WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG.MY MOTHER REMEMBERED ALSO. SOMEPEOPLE CALLED THE SCHOOL ROCKHILL,BUT SINCE THERE WAS ANOTHER ROCKHILL,THEY CALLED IT SHINEWELL.THE BUILDING IF NO LONGER THERE BUT I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE HUGE RED SPOT AND PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT.
