Laneview School
before 1890 - 1914
| Before 1890 Laneview School was organized, and a one room
house was
built on the Old Troy Rd (now Hwy 79) about 1/2 mile east of the New
Salem
Church. This building burned and a two room school was
built.
Some of the first students were from the families of SUMMERS, WASH,
DUKE,
PARHAM, FINNEY, LACKEY, KILLEBREW, BROOKS, MOOM and others. Some
of the teachers were Etta KILLGORE, Chalie OGAN, Mr. CASTLEMAN, Bill
ESTES,
and B. W. BRUCE. In 1914 the school was discontinued and a new
school
was built at New Salem across from the New Salem Church . This new
shcool
consolidated both Laneview and Cloverdale schools.
