Clay Hill School Students, Jefferson County, IL Nov 1899

Submitted by bettyg80

One of Jefferson County's older schools, Clay Hill, was consolidated with Grand Prairie in 1956.  The last site of the school was between Baldwin Heights and Gilead Church in Sec. 6.  It can be reached by driving south on 51 and east one mile on the first road south of the county line road.  Originally, the school stood one mile south of the last site, on land said to have been donated by Thomas Ratts (later James Tate's farm).  Today, all that remains of the school are the ruins of the cellar and cistern.
