In the foreground is the Felts School and the Felts Cemetery. The school was one of many one-room schoolhouses which didn't survive the 1950s. Toward the end of its life as a school, Felts housed 1st through 4th grades after the State of Illinois required that grades 1-8 could not be taught by a single teacher. Grades 5-8 were taught at the neighboring Eggert School. The Freeport Journal-Standard reported an enrollment of 16 for the 1956-57 school year (9/20/56 newspaper edition).
