1860 1 s
Brick 1880's
The date of the original log school on Eagle St., remains in doubt;
however the early books in the possession of Louis Climenhage date 186L~.
The red brick school was built on the original site in 1880.
The first class registered from the log school was comprised of::
Elizabeth Winger: John Walk.er: Ben Niese: George MC.Murray: :-.;:enry &amp;
Elias Zimmerman: Issac Everett: Josiah Wine;er: George , Ben, &amp; Chris
Climenhage: Rebecca Shisler: &amp; George Johnstone.
Trustees who signed the deed for the property were; Jacob Sider:
Wshington M. Sloan: &amp; Joseph Clark.
It was customery for all the exams to be oral, and many of the old
families in the area, sent members to hear the pupils. To reduce the
upkeep it was also customery for the residents of the area, to supply
wood for the box-stove.
The schoold road ran along Black Creek and in alte March when it
flooded it was almost impossible for the children to get to school.
