Stoney Point was located on the River Road just south of the Hitt place. The Kilpatrick place is on the east side of the road. Guy Morgan Denton had it. It was a big 2 story white house. Sally, ask my mother and she can tell you exactly where it was as she and her 2 sisters went to school there. The Hitt place is gone now. Mike and Irvina Harrod lived there in later years; and I believe it was lost in the flood of 1976.

Myrna thanks. I need to take the quilt top out to show your Mother. She probaly knows most of the names on it, if not all of them. The women in the community gave it to my Aunt Marie and she never did quilt it. Hope your day goes well tomorrow. My prayers will be with you.

Sally, I know that Mother would really enjoy seeing the quilt. She probably will know a lot of them and will probably have some interesting "tid bits" to pass on. So sorry to read about your dog on another thread. It is always so hard to give up a family pet.
We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we will go to Lubbock tomorrow.

While I was researching some stuff in the Howard Citizen, I ran across a list of the schools and teachers for the 1929-1930 year. This was in the September 4, 1929 issue. Is anyone interested in having that list put on this forum? If so, I'll got back on Monday and get it.

Janet, I, for one, would be interested in that list. Also, while you're there, if you could look at the
editions from late January, 1912, there are a couple of articles relating to the Old Boston School. One
written by Tom Thompson and another he reprinted from a Moline newspaper that was written by my
great grandmother, Metta Durbin. I have a copy of the latter, but the left side is 'cut-off'. I'd like very
much to get a clean copy and see fully what the article says. If you could help out, it would be most
appreciated. Thanks, Dan Durbin

Of course she will do that, Dan, because I said.

Janet --- if at all possible I would like confirmation when the last school year of Illinois School --- north of Longton was in session. I think it was in 1942....Thanks, sweetie -- I would appreciate it VELLY - VELLY MUCH !!!
Hugs,
Mama Jo

Welp, I went to the library and printed off the teachers from 1929-1930 school year. I didn't read the forum until I got back, so I will go again tomorrow and see what I can find for Dan and Jody. I am going to type out the teacher list, so that you all can see who was working and who was not. ha ha

You might want to look at your previous message and correct your mispelled word in it. Should I tell you what it is?
