A History of the Pedernales Falls Area, 1850–1970 conducted in German. The school may have had as many as twenty students during its peak years during the late 1870s or early 1880s. According to local tradition, the schoolhouse also served as a church. In addition to his farming activities and family obligations, Greene Wilson was or had been an itinerant Methodist minister; and it was probably he who led the services there. 32* Figure 5. The Cypress Mill schoolhouse in 1875. The schoolhouse on Greene Wilson’s land was about the same size.
