The mission and school was located on Illinois Bayou near the present city of Russellville. About 1827-1828, the Indian settlement located on the Mulberry River, near Mulberry, Arkansas, requested the missionaries to staff a school and church for their settlement. The community constructed the school and church at their own expense and Cephas Washburn sent a teacher and missionary to occupy the structure and serve the settlement. Does anyone know the history of the school and mission at Mulberry, and what became of it after the Cherokees moved West into Oklahoma I. T.?????
