Jewell School
Jewell School #95
Weston, Texas
Jewell School was located near Weston. It was included in the 1880 list of Collin County school districts with E. S. Longacre as the teacher. The exact location is not known. It was somewhere between Celina and Cottage Hill.
For the Scholastic census for Collin County for 1886 Jewell School was District #95. The teacher was still E. S. Longacre. Jewell was mentioned in the Scholastic Census of 1886 as having $2.20 remaining in the county fund. E. S. Longacre was a trustee for the Methodist Church South that was formed at the Union School in 1883.
In 1890 Jewell had 39 students; 46 in 1891; and 38 in 1892. There were 28 students in 1899 and 32 in 1900. Charles F. Wilson was the teacher. Miss Una King of Roseland was the teacher in 1901. N. D. Wall taught from December 1900 to March of 1901.
In 1904 Jewell was a 3-teacher school with 114 pupils and Wilhelmina Persohn, G. T. Stevers, and J. W. Noe as teachers.
In an article in April of 1904, Elbert Severe Longacre said he had been a teacher in Collin County from 1870 to 1885. He was a graduate of the William Jewell College in Missouri. Longacre moved to Texas in 1870 from Tennessee and started teaching. He lived near the Union community at present-day Celina. He moved to Oregon in 1886. One reference to Mr. Longacre says he was the teacher at the “Old Union school in the Cottage Hill area.”
This may or may not be the same school as the Union School in Celina.
Jewell School was not listed in 1905.
