In October of 2017 the extensive collection compiled by Annabelle (Hull) Pickett was donated to the Jennings County Public Library. This collection consists of Binders (Scrapbooks) on many different aspects of Jennings County History. There are numerous binders concerning the Military, including obituaries. In this collection are also binders Annabelle compiled while researching her family, these include binders on Campbell and Columbia Townships, churches and cemeteries in the area. Many items in this collection include information on both sides of the line between Jennings and Ripley Counties as that is the area in which their families lived.

From History of Ripley County Indiana
The Fowl family resided in the sourthwestern part of Jackson Township and in the 1840's Godfrey Fowl taught school. No doubt this is how School District No. 4 derived the
name of Fowl SchoolDuring the 1860's Squire F. M. Lehman assumed his first teaching position at this school located in Section 33 across the road from the Godfrey Fowl farm.
Patrons of the school petitioned in April 1905 for a new school as the old school house was unfit. Patrons were Oliver Hull, Amos S. Adams, T. F. French, Joseph H. Kaster Barney Hodapp, Anthony Meyer, John Mehring, Marion French, W.H. Williams, M.S. Hull, Henry Fowl, Henry Lohman, Sylvester Hull, Pillip Fowl, Otha A. Hull, I.B. Levy, George Grubbs, Jonathan French, Amos Judd, David E. Hull, Lorenzo Hull, Amos R. Judd, Lyman A. Judd, William Thackery, Albert Hull. Jackson Township Trustee at the time was William P. Adplanalp, and Advisory Board members were John Hardebeck and William Smiley. The old building was sold to Henry Lohman while Oliver Hull was director of the School.
