Two more from the Geneological Society's book Schools of Cleveland County:The Martin School was located between the homes of Corbett Murrell and Harold Raymer now located on the Corbett Murrell Road. When the school was constructed the site was owned by the heirs of Dr. Rufus Martin.

Carter Special School was near Emmaus church on Highway 189 south, and John P. Norman was teacher there in the early 1900s. Mr. Norman had the equivalent of two years of college work due to special examinations, home study, and correspondence course from Arkansas State Teachers College and the University of Arkansas. In the fall on 1928 teachers at Carter Special were Frank Rowland as principal and Miss Mary Helen Catlett as primary teacher. At that time it had a budget of $322.14. The New Edinburg Band was invited to provide music for the closing exercises at Carter School in August 1929. Following the exercises, cake and ice cream were served by teachers Miss Louise Ellise and Miss Idella Childress. They remained there for the 1929 winter term. In 1930, Carter district had an enrollment of 65 students. The summer 1930 term was taught by A. M. Carter as principal and Mrs. Caroline Thompson as assistant. A. M. Carter was the teacher for the fall and winter term of 1930-31. It was later annexed by New Edinburg School.

Fall is here. Enjoy it. Go Eagles.
