The story

Located on 3-acres donated in 1883 by E. M. Curtner, N.

E. Young, P. H. and N.

C. Neal for a cemetery, school, and church. First school (a 2-story building) was 30 yards west of cemetery.

First church was about 300 yards south of the cemetery. About 1913 a new school was erected on original school site. In 1930 the school district consolidated with Boyd District.

The structure was then used as a church until it burned, 1959. Anneville, one-mile south, had 2 stores, a post office, gin, gristmill, and other businesses. It was probably named in honor of Mrs.

Annie Davis, early settler.

Hear thousands of these as you drive.
