The Caney Fork School, also known as the Maynard Colored School, was completed in 1922. The one-teacher type school was constructed for $2,000. The Rosenwald Fund provided $500, and the local community funded the rest. The school was used until 1933, when the county consolidated all Black schools into one school.
The 1933 closure date is incorrect for Caney Fork Rosenwald School house as student records archived at Allen County Board of Education reflects students at the school until early 1950’s (H D Overholt – 270 622 5286)
