| The section below was taken out of a 1886
Meade County Map, it clearly shows District 11, which only lasted for a short while.
It was first formed March 14, 1886, and apparently
disorganized December 18, 1897. By the time the 1909 Plat
Book was published the whole area was part of School
District 15. (see excerpt from Plat Map below) This school
may have met in someone's home... we have no record,
pictures, etc. of a school building. |
| We do have the name of some of the
teachers who taught at District #11: Nora B. Knott in 1886,
Charles Stevens in 1892, and Mary Wilson in 1893... two
other names are mentioned with no dates they are Mary
Painter and Hattie Estes. We do not
have a list of the students in this school district, but the
surnames of the officers on the school board were: Smith,
Cummings, Stewart, Earhart, Turnice, Stephens, Montgomery,
Ward, Newman, and Vaughn. It stands to reason that their
children attended the school. |
