CLAY COUNTY SCHOOLS
submitted by Lucille Glasgow
There were many schools that sprang up in all parts of the county as settlers moved in and needed schools close
enough for their children to reach by foot or horseback. The following appear
on various lists - and there may be more. If you have any information or photos to
share with us, we would appreciate having them for the museum.
