The second Blue Lick School was in use until about 1920 when a consolidated school was built in Onton. Samuel Crawford Rhodes, J.T. Wedding, E.J. Ashby and their wives donated the land for the second school.(Webster County Deed Book 37, page 158). Jane Sellers McBroom's great-grandfather, Samuel Crawford Rhodes was the teacher at Blue Lick School. Photo courtesy of Betty Sellers.
This project was inspired by the terrific Sumner County TN Family Album.
