BUDA — For many former students of one-room schoolhouses, their school days are the stuff of distant memories and perhaps a faded photograph or two.

For Sharon Hanley Wilson, her school days are no farther away than her own backyard.

Wilson only attended the school from 1949 until it closed in 1952, but her roots run deep. She was the 14th person and the fourth generation of her family to attend the school, which was built in 1856 two miles south of Buda. It was one of nine, one-room schools located in Macon Township.
