Copy of photo was given to me from my mother-in-law. Daily Review
article, dated February 11, 1948 reads:
Fire which broke out at about 10 o’clock yesterday morning destroyed
the two-room school house at Durell. None of the 62 pupils in the
building at the time the blaze was discovered was injured in any way, being
conducted from the structure in an orderly manner by their teachers, Mrs.
Stephen R. Neiley and Mrs. Kenneth Kerrick, both of Durell. The origin
of the fire is not known for certain. The blaze was first noticed
by Mrs. Mary L. Taylor of Standing Stone when she arrived at the school
to conduct music classes. |
