Slaughter School - Texas Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Marker Number: 16298 Marker Text: Population growth along the Dallas-Shreveport Road during the late 19th century brought about the need for a school in this portion of Van Zandt County. Although it is known that Slaughter School existed by 1883 at a different location, in 1888, Elizabeth Slaughter conveyed a one acre site 2.5 miles southwest of Edgewood to trustees James P. Rainey, G.R. Pope and W.D. Whitfield for the construction of Slaughter School. By 1891, the Edgewood School shared the building and the total enrollment was 46 students. At a later unknown date, the Slaughter School was consolidated with the Edgewood District. Slaughter School served as an important educational institution during its short existence. (2010) Marker is Property of the State of Texas
