lock and in 1175 Matlock deeded
two acres as a permanent site for
the church. Earlier another
church had been built but was
later torn down .and replaced by
the one on the present site.
At noon a basket dinner was
spread on tables placed beneath
the trees in jthe church yard.
When tne dinner was finished a
community sing was enjoyed with
Leonard Cady as leader.
The entire party then adjourn
ed to the site of the first school
In Lina county where an agatized
rock was dedicated with the
placing of a bronze placque.
Forming a background for the
unveiling was a set of murals de-
gicting pioneer school days, and
le covered i wagon i and oxen
which brought the early settlers
to our beautiful state. Mrs. Hugh
McQueen made the murals, Mr.
McQueen gave an excellent talk
and also directed the unveiling, by
Norma Groshong, Betty Lou Rice
and Thelma Malone.
This first school house, which
was a crude affair, made of hand
hewn planks,; consisting simply
of four walls, a floor and roof,
was built near a small creek and
was called School House Branch
It was on the donation land
daim of G. B. Splawn and built
In 1856. Where now is a modern
highway, in that early day was
only a dirt road but the large
oak trees on the banks of the
little stream j afforded an ideal
camping place for the wagon
tired pioneers. Now, however, all
trace of. that early camping place
la gone. The ; only remainder of
the schoolhouse is a big hewn
block, believed to have been one
of the cornet stones.
