The Jefferson School snake tale
Jonathan McKay - Contributing columnist
In Clinton County, townships and their one-room schools once scattered the landscape. Among them were Mount Pleasant, Martinsville, Pansy, Kingman, Jefferson, and many more.
Some have been long forgotten, but some live on in the hearts of many of their alumni. There is a special group that keeps one school alive the Jefferson School.
Jefferson School has long been closed and was decommissioned on a Sunday afternoon in July 2002. Nearly 100 people showed up that sunny July day and paid homage to a school that meant so much to a community.
