The following is a story written by a High School student in 1961 about the massacre of a school teacher and about 12 students.  This happened about 2 miles from my  present home in the 1836 Indian uprising.  She calls the Indians Seminoles but more likely they were the Red Stix, a group of Muscogee Creek and Seminole warriors acting under the leadership of the half breed, Jim McHenry.                             A DAY IN HISTORY                         By Mary Anne Greene It must have been a quiet peaceful morn that day some 200 years ago.  The shouting voices, the crying of babies and the usual confusion of the early risings of the settlers did nothing to break the tranquil lightness of the sun brightly shining or the singing of the birds so early.  Such was the day that ended in a heartbreaking tragedy for these early pioneers of Randolph County, Georgia.The little pine logged school house stood on a hill now covered by pines, sweet gums and oaks.  The exact spot is unknown, although many of our older citizens point at different places and vow, "It was right there".  All agree that the little knoll resting on the old stagecoah road owned by Dr. Curtiss of College Park, Ga is the home site of the little school.Reading, "riting", 'Rithmetic or maybe spelling was being stressed at that moment when a party of savage Seminole Indians bounded into the cabin, paralyzing the youngsters with fright.Anxiety settled over the parents as the sun sank lower in the West and no children greeted their ssight.  Finally, fearing the unkown, the men searched for their offsprings. leaving the women to wonder and watch.  The reactions of these men who had braved and dared so much is left for our emotions to know as they looked upon the bloody scene that lay before their eyes upon entering the cabin.  The school wasn't burned as we have seen on televison and read in books but the sight of over a dozen lifeless pupils and one teacher lying sprawed over the floor was chilling enough.For you "Doubting  Thomases" of '61 the proof of this lies within your sight.  The graves of the pupils  are near the site of the ill fated school and the bricks from the chimney are disclosed if tools are used for digging.The story is told of two white men, working in the field now owned by Mr. Dennis Ledden being attacked by renegade Indians and scalped.  Witnesses watched, terrified, and unable to help.  (Note . One farmer escaped and watched the other two being scalped.  The Ledden field is less tha one-half mile from the hill where the school was located. Buggfuzz)
