Early Schools of Mills County, Iowa Pickerill School

A Little History

Note from Gary Good, a student at Pickerill, from 1942 until it closed in 1948:

There were 10 students in attendance when the Pickerill School closed. The students were kids from the Good family, Debolt family, Wallace family and the Osborn family. The Teacher was Velma Eckley.

We walked 1 3/4 mile to school one way! Today, all that remains, of the Pickerill School is a sign.
