Jan. 10, 1870, Nathan Pearson purchased land in Section Thirty-six, T 7 N, R 14 W. He had moved to Arkansas from Alabama and settled one and half miles east of Wooster. After his death it passed on a partition sale from his widow to G.J. Pearson, a son, July 3, 1882.

Oct. 27, 1881, the N.E. Adams store was sold to J.P. Wooster for $25. Woodter did not own another parcel of land hereabouts, but when the spirit of town development was advanced his store was the nucleus and his name became the name of the new village.

School District No. 10 was created at Wooster July 9, 1883. The first school in this area was on the brow of a hill, on the James Carter farm, one-half mile north of King's bridge over East Cadron Creek. Another school in this immediate area was at Walnut Grove.

In 1881 Burks school was opened and was the only school in this immediate area. A.K. Burks gave the land. The Burks school stood in a bend of the road and traffic could be seen in three directions. The teacher painted the lower panes of the glass windows to keep the pupils attention on their classwork. It was not long before most of the window glasss was broken out.

Other teachers at this school were James A. Lee, Socratus Hendrickson, John R. Huie, Mrs. Lydia Smith, J.A. Batson (who taught his 17th term in 1901), A. M. Ledbetter, J.R. Giddens, John H. Jones, Henry Lankford, J.A. Reynolds, Wiley Beene and Cicero Bennett.

The Burks School was destroyed by a windstorm in 1911. This school was rebuilt but in a new location. Luther Holloway led the drive to construct the new schoolhouse. This school was again destroyed by a wind and rain storm in 1924. The new school had been built a little north of the town and west of the new concrete highway to Martinville. The building had six rooms and an auditorium. A Smith-Hughes building was erected as was the home economics building.

The Wooster school system was one of the first in this county to use the Arkansas State Teachers College teacher training program. These young student teachers were transferred the seven miles from Conway to Wooster each day by bus. The school district hired one full-time adult teacher for supervision. In later years the school was consolidated with Greenbrier.

A Primitive Baptist church was established very early in Wooster. On certian Sindays, the foot-washing day, many wagons and buggies filled the grounds at the church site. Most were merely curious.

The Baptist Church was organized in 1917. It obatined its pews for their new building from the nearby disbanded West Shady Grove Methodist Church. This Baptist church was rebuilt in 1965.

In 1895, Hensley Robinson purchased the Jeff Pearson general store. In 1903, L.T.

Highway 65, one the county's first hard surface roads, cut northward across the Cadron bottoms to Wooster in 1923, and continued northward through Bono, Marrtinville, Damascus and Clinton. In 1942, however, this route was changed eastward to a more favorable route north through Pickles Gap, Spring Hill, Greenbrier and Damascus.

There still remains at Wooster the lodge hall, the post office, several stores, the Baptist church, the Church of Christ and many new brick homes.
