It was built because the original school, The Acadamy burned sometime around 1918-19. Gordon Springs School was built near Felix Martin farm on Old Ringgold Rd. This was 1 mile north from the original school. The building was two rooms instead of one. Grades 1-4 in one room and grades 5-7 in the other. Students were sent to the Martin farm to use the well for their water, hauling it back to school in buckets. Parents supplied the wood for heaters by the wagon load. This info and student names was found with a picture of Gordon Springs Schools students. It was hand written. I do not know who wrote this info but several people did identify the students in the picture as the same names written in this info. No teachers names were written in this info but there is an unidentified teacher in the picture. Their were 4 names written in this info that I could not transcribe. Info came from Martin family papers. Felix Martin was my gg- grandfather. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.5 Kb
