Brother Joe sent some photos and information about the one-room school house that some of us attended as kids. There was another school, Anderson, also one-room, that we also attended. Here are Joe's comments and the photos:






"Rose. the pictures I have been wanting to send and was encouraged by Sue to do this tonight did not include any written descriptions. The spelling I am not sure about as an old pre-storm sign spelled it Schockley.

The two of the schoolhouse were taken after the January 2007 ice storm. The badly damaged section was taken looking west with the Turnbo road being on the right hand (north) and making a 90 degree turn south and going up Shockey Hill. It is not very clear but is the hill mentioned where Ford Model T's would sometimes back up the hill, due to the fuel tank being low in fuel and no fuel pumps. (gravity flow)

The lesser shown damaged side is the north side of the school looking south.

The guy sitting on the rock is your good looking brother Joe and was taken during the summer at Shockey Ford, on Turnbo about a 1/2 mile or so west and a little north of the old schoolhouse.

The Shockey school is where our brother Bernie attended when he was in first grade. Our aunt Mary Felin taught school at Schockey but I think that was be before Bernie was born?

Any questions, let me know. It may be about as clear as mud!

Bro Joe"
