This was found at the Historic Indiana website:
One room schools once served as educational centers of the township; they were familiar
names such as Hancock's Chapel, Brush College, Hati, Wyman, Babcock's,
Steven's and Armstrong's. The Depauw High School was constructed in 1910 and
served until 1950 when it was discontinued. Blue River, Spencer, and Jackson Townships
have combined their efforts in education and all children of this area now attend the
North Central Consolidated School at Ramsey.
The Hancock Chapel area was served by a school, church and store. This store was operated
by Ed Routh who also served as postmaster. Routh later sold the store to the Wenning
family who operates the present store in a building which had once been the original one-
room school at Hancock's Chapel. Bill Trotter conducted a mail route from
Fredericksburg through Hancock's Chapel to Ramsey on the railroad.
In all probablilty if there might be a collection of school pictures you could find out by
contacting North Harrison School at Ramsey or the Library History and Genealogy Center at
Corydon.
