The
Reasor School was named for John Comstock Reasor, carpenter, who built
the first school building.
Christopher Drake Reasor came south with the railroad and was in Grayson County, Texas by 1876. There was also a Reasor School #94 (a second Reasor school was built later as the district grew) which was featured at the 1936 Centennial in Dallas with a replica in the front of the State Fair Music Hall. C.D. Reasor bought the materials and had the school built because his children had to be privately schooled. It was the first free nine-month school in the State. My great grandfather, John Comstock, was a carpenter and actually built the school. We have pictures of the school taken about 1954. The school was eventually converted into a private home and may not exist today.
