Miller's Chapel School
|
The building of the new school was a great community event. Jim Possum Wix sawed the lumber in his sawmill. The school was a white weatherboarded house. The entire community helped in whatever way they could to give their children a new school.
The first teacher of the school was Sally Wheeley. Others that taught at Millers Chapel School were the following: Edith Jones, Horace White, Ruthie Leath, Marie Doss Robinson, Nadine Cothron, Ruth Carter, Ann Simmons, Mirtie Stone, and Harold Cothron. Harold Cothron was the last teacher of the school.
The school was open to the children of the community for many years. In different cases, two generations attended and sometimes even was taught by the same teacher. The school burnt sometime in the middle 1950's. The school year was finished the last year in the Miller's Chapel Church. After this final year, the children either went to Cline's or Leath's Chapel School.
