You wouldn't believe it but Dancyville had a college once. It was the Dancyville Female Academy, and run by a Professor Tanner who was from Texas. He built a house here, the same house where I was born and raised. He's buried in the local cemetery. Some of his people have come all the way from Texas to see the old house.
