 Denison Daily Herald
Wednesday, January 2, 1907 During the holidays the Reasor schoolhouse northwest of the city has undergone a general overhauling and painting, and a pump placed over the well. School reopened this morning after ten days given for the Christmas holiday. On account of the large number of children of scholastic age in the district, and the size of the district , it has been decided to open another school next Monday. The new school will be conducted at Warner Junction, the teacher to be chosen the latter part of the week.  I found Riverside School mentioned in a book at the Frontier Village, the Grayson County History Book, vol. 2, sec. 1, pg. 101 - in the section entitled "Reasor School #94 and Riverside". It says it was one of the first free schools. Then Reasor School #2 was built for families on the other side of the district which was called Riverside School and was located at the end of the dam spillway. My mother, Florence Lucille Cook Clountz, went to that school and said that the school was between Overton (north of Pottsboro) and Denison on the river.
