History of Benton County
SCHOOLS.

The Berryville Academy was originally established by James Rhea in 1855. He
was educated at Mechlin Institute and Arkansas College, Washington County,
and had great natural ability as a teacher. The school at Berryville was
conducted in a building erected for general school and church purposes by
the community, and embraced such studies as usually form an academic
curriculum. Prof. Rhea was assisted by different persons at various times.
Among the students who have done honor to this school may be mentioned James
H. Berry, successively judge, governor and United States Senator. The school
was suspended during the war, when the building was also burned.
