Alexander County Illinois Genealogy Trails


This was a one room school. Jim Dowdy attended 1st grade and about half of second grade there. It closed about 1955 and all students  were  transferred to Tamms.  Mrs. Lilly Bierbaum taught all eight grades. There were 3 boys in the first grade, Lonnie Crite, Charles Fitzgerald and Jim Dowdy.  Some of the girls in the higher grades helped teach the lower grades. Janet Everett was one of them.  --Contributed by Jim Dowdy.
