Indian Creek School was established about the middle 1880’s.  My father and friend’s parents went to school at the Indian Creek School in 1890, which was located about three-quarters of a mile north from the creek, and five and a half miles north of Coleman near the Baird Road.  The first Indian Creek School District # 45 was very large; pupils came from the northeast on the Morris ranch and from as far north as the north side of Jim Ned Creek on the Coleman - Baird road, west to somewhere around the Wm. O. K. Anderson property on the now Coleman - Abilene road and almost to Coleman, which is now part of Coleman City limits.

In 1922, a deed was given to the trustees by J. L. Wilkinson for the school land.  The school closed in 1941 or 1942.  Jess Farries’ family lived in the building for some eight or ten years.  He drove the bus into Coleman transporting the community children as the school had consolidated into Coleman in 1943.  The building was sold, torn down and moved about 1950.  The big school bell is now in the possession of Mrs. J. P. (Mary) Miller, used as a call bell on the ranch.  Early settlers of the Indian Creek Community were: Bardwell, Mann (a family who owned a large ranch), Veneable, Bramlett, Blythe, Edgar Smith (a father and two maiden sisters), Fennimore, Robinson, Marcus, John McKinney, Hambrights, Croom, Wilkinson, Jameson, Abbey, and more I am sure.
