Does anyone know anything about the old Cullin Schoolhouse in Daviess County (or Hancock Cty) near Iron Ore Hill Cemetery? John Samuel Cullin and wife Annie Sarah Pence-Cullin donated a stretch of land on their farm to the County so they could build a schoolhouse. The County named it the 'Cullin Schoolhouse' after it's benefactors. After many years of vacancy, farmers stored about 1,000 bails of hay in the old school. Around 1972 a fire broke out and the schoolhouse burned to the ground. The property where it stood is at mile markers 5 & 6 on State Route 657 in Daviess County. (might even be Hancock County). If anyone has any info or even a picture of this old schoolhouse, please let me know. Thank you.
