Sounds like my First year, 1941 at Morgantown, between Blossom and Detroit. We had 2 teachers for 8 grades. Four grades in each room. The Fourth grade only had 1 student.

When I attended Bagwell School (Started 1st grade in 1948) the three teachers for the whole eight grades were Effie Fox Henry (1st through 3rd grades); Minnie Witmer (4th through 6th grades) and Mr. C.A. Cass (7th & 8th grades). Mr. Cass was the principle. Sharon

Sam, my mother used to teach at Detroit, Tx too. She was Ruth Moore, then. I do not know what grade she taught, tho.

I grew up going to the Church of Christ in Bagwell where Laura Mae and Rozelle Denton and their brother, Mason, also attended. Mason was the song leader and preached some. Rozelle later married a Raulston (distant kin of mine), and they had a daughter named Beth. Mason married Francis Dunaway and they moved away from the county. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cynthia Samples" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 9:55 PM Subject: RE: [TXREDRIV] Red River Dialect My first grade teacher was Laura Mae's sister, Rozelle Denton Raulston.

Christine Stephens Pratt and Laura Mae as well as Rozell were all teaching at Detroit, however, Rozelle never had the pleasure of teaching me.
