Bethlehem School

Bethlehem School was a two-room schoolhouse for white students in the Blackwater district of Franklin County. The school was built on a concrete foundation, and it was heated with a stove. The building did not have electricity, running water, or indoor restrooms. By 1937, only one of the two classrooms was still being used. Reba Childress, Grace Lavendar, Kate Mills, Drucella Pasley, and W. F. Mills all served as teachers at the school.
