Temple Hill High School’s Class of 1950 – Both an End and a Beginning
Today I have a special treat for you. Some of the material for this article was provided by a generous local “friend of history” to whom I say THANK YOU!. First, some background information is in order. The main building of the old Temple Hill High School was destroyed by fire on January 23, 1948. Due to a suspicious number of Russell County’s school buildings being destroyed by fire within a span of few years, and a lack of evidence to the contrary, arson was naturally considered. It was never proven, however. The chronology of these fires will be presented as a follow-up to this article.

Why SI: Higginson Farms Mercantile
The Higginsons, Stephanie and Ty, are small-town farmers offering quality fresh beef straight from their farm just outside McLeansboro. In 2020, Stephanie decided to open a small store on their farm, carrying beef, goods that highlighted other local farms, fresh produce, homemade jams and jellies, and Mennonite baked goods. Community is one of the Higginson’s passions, and it showed with the farm store, providing the very best farm-to-table products, grown, and raised locally. Outgrowing the store on the farm, Stephanie opened Higginson Farms Mercantile in 2023 just down the road in neighboring Carmi. With added success, the Higginsons expanded again, opening a second store, Riverside Mercantile, in an old, renovated gas station on the Ohio River in Elizabethtown. In addition to Riverside Mercantile, the Higginsons also have two short-term rental houses in Elizabethtown, offering weekend getaways looking out over the bluffs to the Ohio River in the small river town nestled in the Shawnee National Forest.
