Mrs. Jessie Quarles
I taught school at what was then Fort Houston.
but is now Chambers School, in 1885. The
ELKHART SCHOOL, 1900
building was a log house and had a great fireplace.
A high pulpit in one end would seem to indicate
that it was also used as a church. I was paid thirty
dollars a month salary. and my board cost five
dollars a month. I walked two miles to school.
I saw so many wild pigeons flying over on my
walks to and from school that frequently they
would obscure the sun light. I would often mistake
them for a cloud.
"A most gruesome experience in my new home
was the visit I paid with my mother to the home
of the tragedy when Mrs. Randolph Hassell was
killed by some negroes in 1885. We attended the
funeral. It was an awful occasion. The town overflowed
with people. They were restless. They milled
around the negroe's who had been arrested and
were in front of a store awaiting their fate.
Tbe next day we were invited to go down and
see the five men and one woman all hanging from
a big oak tree on the ground which is now the
school campus. We did not go. Tho hundreds of
others viewed the sight.
She married Clarence Quarles son of W.W.Quarles and Eliza C. Neal Quarles.
