189The Sunny Point School had its orgin in 1885 about a thousand feet above the present mouth of Bear Run. The first teacher was Alice Neal. A few of the other teachers in this old building were Lora Pritchard, Bird Grimm, Caroline Huff, Lon Ireland, Emery Ireland, D.J. Richards, William McGill and Andy Wade. The original name of the school was the Bear Run School. Later it was changed to Lower Bear Run school. Later the building was moved to its present location, Charlie Batson, the first teacher in the present building, gave it the present name owing to its peculiar location. It was the Banner School in Union District in 1931, winning second place in 1932. This spring, 1945, the school was discontinued and the property sold.
[editor’s note: I am making an educated guess that this is the same Lora Pritchard]
