Tom's Branch Schoolhouse

Tom's Branch One Room Shool House
Submitted By Jacqueline (Williams) Smith

Tom's Branch was a one room school house where I started school at the age of 4 yrs old. It was located in Ary, Ky on Troublesome Creek where the Napiers settled. I know my mom attended there, but I'm not sure about my grandfather. I have many fond memories of that school. The teacher who started my education was Sylvia Allen and when we closed that school, I had finished 4th grade and we went to Robinson School where she was also a jr. high teacher as was her husband, Gorman Allen. Mr. Campbell also taught at the one room school house before it closed and while I attended.
