Tyler Bluff School

I've been interested in the school classes at the turn of the century and enjoy looking at the old school pictures. My grandparents lived in a rural area of the county, and when they went to school, most schools were one room with one teacher. Lack of transportation and few improved roads made it difficult to go to the larger towns for more schooling. Back then, rural areas didn't have access to high schools, so it was common for siblings to attend the same one-room school but be in different grades. This newspaper clipping shows the 1918 students and their teacher. My Grandmother, Ola Hutson, is pictured with one brother and three sisters.
