Spikes School, Webster Co. MS
The Spikes School opened around 1900. Previously, there was a school known as Eureka, which was attended in the mid and late eighteen hundreds. The Eureka school burned and was replaced by the Spikes School, which was located on the Bellefountaine-Montevista Rd near Elijah F. Spikes� place. This was about two miles from what is known as the Huffman Mountain.
Later this building also burned. The next building was located on Peppertown Road and more centrally located to all the students. There was a spring for water at the bottom of the hill behind the school, a play area, and wood for the woodstove heating system. In 1923, the Spikes School, along with the New Hope and Embry Schools, was consolidated with the Bellefountaine School.
