The business center of the community was at the railway station, Warren's Bluff, for several years. Warren's Bluff was named for a very useful citizen, Dr. Warren and the high bluffs nearby. Rushing Brothers Mercantile was the first store. Frank Stubblefield was the first postmaster, W.W. Hay was the first mail carrier with F. Goff as present carrier. Rock Hill School was given its name because of sand rocks nearby. The first school building was erected in 1873. It was built by the community. There have been three buildings. The present building was built in 1917. The first teacher was Major Scates with 15 pupils in school. The teachers at present are Mr. and Mrs. Troy McPeake with an enrollment of 50. |
