  2. 2-1021 - Newspaper article on Coppell called Gibb

    From Irving News Record, Oct. 30, 1958. I never heard the name as Gibb, always Gibbs. The date for when the town became Coppell is wrong; it was 1892. This is the only reference I've ever seen of T. J. Harrison. (P. Wilson, resident, 12/25/11)

    At least by 1953, when I was in the first grade, each class at Coppell School had its picture made in front of this wall. It's the north wall, northwest corner of the school. The window is in the girls' restroom. I believe the teacher here is Mrs. Phillips, but this isn't my class. (P. Wilson, resident, 12/25/11)

  14. 2-1033 - Newspaper article on Coppell School burning

    John Ratliff, mentioned in the article, lived in the house just west of the school building. The replacement building was almost an exact copy of the burned building; the foundation, the brick exterior, and the heavy slab of the auditorium stage probably survived, at least partially. (See photo #147-155.) When rebuilt, there were still six classrooms and an auditorium. (P. Wilson, resident, 12/25/11) I was a freshman in Carrollton High School wh...
