ONDEE
SCHOOL was located southeast of Olin at a stagecoach stop on the old Hamilton-Hico
Road on the north side of the Leon River in the 1890's and
early 1900's. Minnie Lois (Shipman) Grant attended school at
Ondee when Bob Ike Richardson was the teacher. Minnie graduated for
Hamilton High School in 1913. Mr. Richardson frequently had students
stand in the corner for punishment. Minnie told Mr. Richardson that
if he made her stand in the corner, she would tell her dad, Anderson
Lafayette "Fayette" Shipman, who was on the Ondee School Board.
