The History of Timewell High School
 
Timewell (population 147) is located in west-central Illinois about 30 miles east (and a little north) of Quincy.  U.S. Route 24 is the main roadway to and from Timewell and actually runs about a quarter-mile south of the town. Timewell sits quietly in the western portion of Brown County.
 
According to the web address of http://www.webspawner.com/users/timewell/ Timewell was established in 1858 by the Wabash Railroad and was initially named Mounds Station.  Due to the town of Mounds in southern Illinois, mail delivery (and mis-delivery) started to become an issue.  The name of the town was changed in 1908 to Timewell to eliminate this problem. The town is listed officially as Timewell on the MapQuest map, however the name of Mounds Station is listed in parenthesis.  The town's motto is a unique one:
 
"Time Spent In Timewell Is Time Well Spent!"
 
The history of the Timewell school system is in need of research.  We only know that Timewell High School existed due to a copy of a 1941 high school basketball schedule from the nearby Schuyler County town of Frederick. Our guess is that Timewell High was a three-year high school, however it is possible it offered a fourth year as well.  We believe that Timewell High School probably closed in the late 1940s. 
 
The kids of Timewell now attend school in nearby Mt. Sterling (Brown County School District).

Athletics & Extra-Curriculars
 
We are quite certain that the Timewell High School boys participated in competitive basketball.  We believe they competed in baseball and track as well.  We are in need of your assistance here.  School team nickname, team colors, fight song, coach's names, and team records are all items we are searching for.
 
We are also interested in items and activities that made Timewell High School unique.  Band, chorus, plays, meetings, clubs, and dances were likely all a part of the Timewell High School experience. If you have knowledge of these please write and share them with us.
