The Old School House Wrecked
by Age and Neglect


The building south Of the
court house which has recently
been used as a mule and hog
shed and implement storage
place, crumpled-and fell to the
west Thursday night of last
week and two thirds of the old
land mark was a mass of mixed
timbers. Saturday the remand
er of the building went down.
The premises are owned by Chas.
Parker, the big ditch and dump
contractor. Thursday morning
he was notified that big sow
and seven pigs he owned were
playing havoc with a neighbors
garden. The swine roasted in
the old building and ranged
around the neighborhood at
times. Charley took the porkers
out of the lot and confined them
elsewhere that same morning
and saved them from the collapse
of the building that night. He
had quite a lot of machinery in
the building, his mules and hors.
es being out at his works on a
dump east of town. The mach
inery was not injured by the
wreck Thursday night but the
tumbIing of the remainder Of
the building damaged some of
it more or less.
Just when the building was
erected we have been unable to
learn but it was some time dur
ing the early fifties according to
some old residents who had
graduated there before the
editor started to school in 1864.
The two most prominent teach
ers who held forth in the build
ing were Mr.. Alfred Mann and
Benjamin Crawley and of the
former, Mr.. ]. J. Moore and Mr..
7. j. Martin have vivid recollec-
tions. Mr.. Walter Hyde and a
number of others of the COM
munity at that time, nearly all
of whom are in different parts
of the world, had no other school
days than those spent in study
IN the old house which went
down last week. The original
structure had been added to un-
til it no wise resembled the school
house where so many had exper-
fences differing as radically from
those of school children of today
as do the present commodious
and comfortable modern build
ings, from what, 40 or so years
ago were considered suitable for
the purposes. The joys. sorrows
agonies arising from different
sources but principally from
penslties for infraction of rules
which were experiences of school
children a half centuary ago are
unknown to those of this gener-
alton as completely as are the
fundamentals of an education or
discipline. The old school was
never "a deestric skule" nor a
consolidated, but when it rose
to the dignity of village school,
it was filled to overflowing from
town and country and be it said
truthfulIy, that there was moth.
ing so superficial as is noticed in
grade and high schools as well,
in this day and age. But the
old house is down to rise no
more and the majority Of those
whose education was acquired
therein are bowed with age and
bent with lifes' burdens if NOT
extinct among men.
