merly located on section 9, but was
blown off the foundation by storm
which precipitated a wrangle for its
removal. The contest was spirited
and some bad blood resulted. All diff

southwest corner Of the J.C. Edmond
son quarter who suggested the name
Liberty BY which it is known. Miss
Eta Straw, daughter Of Harmon
Straw, was the first teacher, in 1877;
