Carlinville Community High School, 1911-1929

Carlinville Free School, built 1866

According to an article "School's Out" in the Macoupin Co. Enquirer 6/20/2002, the building in the photo is the Carlinville Free School built on the site of the South school building in 1866, completed 1867. It replaced 3 smaller, earlier schools and was "one of the largest and certainly the most ornate building in town when it was completed." In 1912, the Central building was built just north of it to house the High School. In 1924 the 3rd floor of the Free School building was declared unsafe, and in 1928 the Free School was razed and the South School building that still stands was built on the spot. The cornerstone of the old building was moved to the SW corner of the new building, and the 2-story carved stone main entrance of the old building which originally faced S. Broad was carefully removed and became the south entrance of South School where it can be seen to this day. -- Elisabeth Herndon

I do not know where Sunnyside School was, but the Strait family lived on Johnson street, a few blocks from the courthouse (in town center) in 1922 ... moved into that house in 1913, so the Strait children would have attended schools in town. -- Annette Miner, 2004

Gillespie High School, 1922 (possibly)

I am not 100% positive, but it sure looks like my father, Andrew Menzie, is the third boy from the left in the front row. The one who is smiling. He was born in 1907 in Gillespie, grew up there and graduated from high school there. I looked up Walter Slaughter in the 1920 census on Ancestry and saw that he was born in 1907 also. So that makes it very likely. Thanks for taking an interest. -- Margaret Menzie Teague

Grimes School Class, 1894 Nov 27, Gillespie Township

Gillespie - Grimes school pupils and their teacher, November 27, 1894. The students are not identified, but the teacher was Miss Lora Stokes, now Wheeler, who was 95 years of age last November, and is now a patient Lakeview Nursing HOme, Carlinville. Granville Wheeler of Gillespie is a son of the former teacher.

1 Aunt Edith, 2 Aunt Olive, 3 Aunt Lelia (mama's sister), 4 Uncle Walter Voyles (mama's brother)

"My great grandmother was Lora Rachel Stokes Wheeler - the teacher in the picture.

"Grimes School picture was taken November 27, 1894. This picture and newspaper article belonged to my grandmother, Rita Wheeler McDermott.

"Lora Rachel Stokes Wheeler was born 9 Nov 1875 in Hettick, Macoupin County, and died 9 Jan 1973 in Carlinville, Macoupin County. The newspaper article says she is 95. So I think it is from a Gillespie newspaper around 1971/1972." -- Kathie Marabella

This photo belonged to my great grandmother, Orah Clevenger Kinney.

Immanual Lutheran Church School, 2nd Grade

My Grandmother and her sibs were reported to have attended Immanuel Luthern Church School [possibly could be Zion, too], and this is supposedly a photo of one of them in the 2nd Grade. Assuming that the kids would be 7 - 8 years old in the 2nd Grade ?, then this photo would be between about 1896 - 1911.

My Grandmother [Marie] told me that as the oldest, she rode a horse to school with a couple of the younger kids along the back. The horse was tied out during school and after school, they rode the horse back home [Cahokia Twp in 1900, Mt. Olive Twp in 1910 - possibly Carlsburg]. Marie had left the area by 1908, but still was given photos taken later than that. I suspect that she is not in the photo but maybe one of the younger children. -- Sharon Buethner

The children and their birthdates are:
Maria [Mary] Schultz, 1888
Bill [William] Schultz, 1893
Mate [Mae] Hillmann, 1895
Theresia [Tracy] Hillmann, 1897
Walter Hillmann, 1900

Raffurty School, Polk Township

This Raffurty Schoolhouse is located at the corner of Finch Road and Rinaker Road, Section 6, Polk Township, Macoupin County, Illinois, 2009. Private property. Picture facing NW. Picture is from Lloyd Konneker.

"Complete with water pump and storm cellar. I peeked inside. It's pretty rough, but the blackboards are still there. How long before chalk is just a memory?" – Lloyd Konneker

"There were two Raffurty schoolhouses in Polk Township. One has been moved to the Macoupin County Historical Society Grounds. This rural school house building still standing in section 6 of Polk township at the corner of Rinaker road and Finch road was the Raffurty School District 91. It was the first school district organized in Polk township. A part of the district was also in Chesterfield, Bird and Western Mound townships. The old school house is on the James Wheeler farm and had been in miscellaneous use as a farm storage building following the closing of all rural school districts during the consolidation of the rural schools in 1948." -- Jim Frank

The old school house building standing there [Rinaker road and Finch road] now is the newer Raffurty school house built to replace the old school house. When the new building was erected, the old school building was moved to the Charles Barnstable farm and used as a chicken house. It is this building that was donated by Mrs. Charles Barnstable and moved into the Historical Society grounds in Carlinville and restored. Raffurty School District was known as the Union School District until 1913 when the named was changed to Raffurty, named after the owner of the farm where the school was located. At that time there were four other schools in Macoupin county by the name of Union, thus the reason these school named Union were changed. The yearly school reports turned in to the County Superintendent of Schools by the teacher teaching at the school each particular year spell Raffurty with the ur instead of er. Interesting!"

"Chesterfield Items. Union School House in the neighborhood of James Rafferty's has been enlarged, newly covered, repainted and renovated generally and is now a credit to the district." -- The Macoupin County Enquirer, November 4, 1869. Contributed by Sue Raffurty McMurry

"The spelling of Rafferty/Raffurty is incidental … all the same family. The only branch of the family that used the Raffurty spelling is my line - from James Raffurty - his father & brothers, nephews, etc. spelled it with the "er". My James Raffurty changed his because 3 James Rafferty's received mail at the same PO." – Sue McMurry
