On land given by John Jesse Jones (1820-1872), who with his wife Margaret Kyle (1830-1896) moved from Alabama to Texas in the 1850s, a one-room log cabin schoolhouse built in the 1860s also served for church and community meetings. It was furnished with a teacher's platform and hand-hewn, peg-leg log benches. Two generations of children learned to read, write, and figure there before the school was moved after 1900 into the woods about 1.5 miles northeast and enlarged. It was consolidated with Latexo in 1933. A 63 foot well with a rock bottom remains at the site of Jones School.
