Like most other one teacher schools, this one is no more. It was located in the lower end of
Horeshoe Bend, on what is now government land. Every sign of the old school building is gone,
along with the homes and people that made this a living, breathing community.
The water of the new Cordell Hull lake cover some of the land and the rest including the site
of this little school, will be a public recreation park.

Most of these children in this 1924 picture are grandparents now, one or two have died, two or
three couples are married to each other. Some who attended the school were not present when this
picture was made. Among these were Rob Gann, T. D. Bates, Ammon Whitehair, Ernest and Clifton
Robinson, Celestia Pettross, Adalee, Mabel and Glenn Bennett.
