We have a file cabinet
drawer with information on Clay County schools. Vinegar Hill School housed
the first eight grades between 1884 and 1949.
In the Vinegar
Hill School file is an article from the August 27, 2001, Tribune-Star
about Vinegar Hill. Included in the article are a picture of the
schoolhouse and a picture of retired teacher Alma RISSLER, who was
101 years old at the time of the article. Ms. RISSLER was the only
surviving teacher from Vinegar Hill School. Also included in the school
file are photographs of students in 1925, 1933, and in the early 1940’s.
Listed below are names of students pictured. Come to the Library to see the
picture.
