The school was first known as the Brassfield School, and later nicknamed Hog Skin Hallow. It is said this name originated when hogskins from stolen hogs were found under the schoolhouse. Later, by vote of the district, the name changed to Happy Hollow School, which had been suggested by County Superintendent J. W. McCormick after learning from Mrs. Irene Stith that the valley where the school was located was known by that name. The school was in existence before February 1868.........."Some of the early school patrons and the number of children each had attending the school follows: " among those listed: "Philip Reeter, four children".

After the death of Raymond, his wife sold the farm to a nephew, Doug Reeter, and partner Donald Lamp in 1978.
