Journeyman (2011)
“Some of the families living on the other side of Rocky Comfort Creek had started out early that morning in wagons pulled by slow-walking mules. They forded the creek a hundred yards above the schoolhouse and drove up sitting in house chairs that had been placed in the wagon-bed. Others came in cars. Many walked, and some rode mule-back.
Clay Horey and Dene, together with Semon and Lorene, had arrived at one o’clock. They had been the first there, and Clay and Semon went inside and opened up the... building and got things ready for the services. It was a two-room school, and the larger room had about forty desks in it. At one end of the room there was a platform, where the teacher sat, and on it two chairs and a table.
While they were inside, Lorene and Dene went down to the spring for a drink of water. They were gone for nearly half an hour.
The schoolhouse grounds soon filled with teams and wagons, and bare-back mules tied to trees. The automobiles were left in the sandy clearing between the building and the grove.MoreLess
