Subject: [ARIZARD] Westpoint School
Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 08:28:49 EDT


Has the old Westpoint School located in the Violet Hill, Larkin, Forrest
Chapel between the area of Highway 56 and the Chapel Hill Road (south of 56 and
west of Violet Hill) areas ever been located and pinpointed? Also, was it
denoted in the Izard County School Book a few years ago since it lasted until the
20s and 30s and the age iis in question. It was still in existence as a one
room school as late as the 1920s and 1930s, a fact from a 1921 newspaper by
Betty McCollom and attended by well-known musician and music educator Orgel Mason
(1916 - 2002) who attended the school when he lived near Forrest Chapel as a
child. Thanks, just wondering if anyone can help with the exact location of
it and whether it may still be standing and if a cemetery is with it.
