Sunny Schools

The fact that this school has
been called Summy's for over
fifty years is q tribute to the
prominence of Solomon Sunny
who lived nearby. He was one
of the commissioners to lay off
Polk county, and after it's or
canigdtion was a member of the
county court.
Solomon Sunny was chair
man of the county court four
terms: 1843 1847, 1913 and 1850.
In 1852 he resigned as justice
OF the peace sin order that the
'squires may be better distrib-
uted over the district. He and
Wm. Higgins, neighbors, were,
with W. G. Reynolds Of the
Blankinship place, west of
the Ocoee, The j. P.'s.

never was on Summy's land,
but his house was the nearest
