Lillie taught school at Curtis School. The origin of the Curtis school dates from 1908 when three public spirited farmers met to establish a school for the children of the growing community. Those men were Henry Inlow, John Swallow, and George Cale. at first the name was "Swallow" but later they decided on "Curtis" which name remains today for that community. The school was constructed from native lumber; the benches and desks were native lumber, too, and the room eighteen by twenty feet. The furniture consisted of one small wood stove, a bench two water buckets, and two dippers. The water was carried from a spring about a mile away.
Approximately thirty students attended this first school and the teacher was Lillie Nelson, now Jackson.
