(south of Goldsboro) by Ethel Bush Smith from
A
History of Coleman County and Its People, 1985
We came to Texas January 20, 1908 from Alabama ... Charlie and Sina
Bush and children. We started school at Independence School about
1½ miles south of Goldsboro. It was a one room building about
20 feet x 24 feet; there were about 30 to 40 kids in school. Our
teacher was Miss Mattie Horne, who married Dr. Jennings at Coleman.
Our next teacher was Miss Lela Leslie from Glen Cove; then Mr. Grover Cleveland
of Wingate. He would go home on weekends on his bicycle. When
the railroad was built and the townsite of Goldsboro
was established, we went to school there. It is supposed that Independence
was then closed.
