location on the farm of John Strife.
An outstanding teacher was James
Gelwix, and early trustees were:
Jacob Miller, Geo. Harry, Abraham
Strife, Peter Eshleman, Christian
Strife and Samuel Strife.
Three other schools are recorded:
Mt. Union, first taught by John
Wolfinger in 1869; New Harmony,
on the land of Joseph Strife, with
trustees Henry Schriver, David Gil
bert, and Daniel Mentzer, in 1855;
and the school at Pleasant Hill. In
this last section, the Rev. Jacob Day.
hoff taught in his home on the Will
liam Stevenson farm, as early as
1906. In 1880, or near that time, the
community put up a school house
on the Ringgold road, on the land of
John Mentzer. About twenty years
later, a new building was erected,
but at new location, on the farm of
John D. Eakle, with trustees Ben
jamin Carver, Daniel Winter and
Samuel Nigh Some of the early
teachers in this school were Mrs.
Anna (Snively) Carver, Rev Christ
ian Lepley and several of the Ment-
zeTs.

peared in this section which read,
in part:
g. a number of the inhabitants
of Upper Anteitam Hundred in
Washington County, Md, met ac-
cording to notice given for that pur-
pose at the dwelling house of Christ
ian Good on the End of March last
in order to choose suitable persons
and proper place for building a
school house and the persons then
and there met did unanimously elect
Christian Good, John Meyer, and
Jacob Lambert trustees for carry
ing into effect the said purpose"
Thus was begun and built the
school house one mile east of Lett
ersburg on the Smithsburg road.
This was known as the Longmead-
ows, or the Martins school. This
building cost $322.96. Two teachers
recorded at this school were Thomas
Smith and Francis Shiess. Success
sive trustees were George M. Boyer,
Jacob Carver, John Oswald, Jacob
Shank, Peter Newcomer, Andrew
Shank, Jr., Jacob E. Bell and David
Bell
In 1929 the need for another
school was felt and acted upon, this
school to be built at the intersec-
ton of the old Hagerstown- Waynes-
boro road and the Schmutz's Mill
Greencastle road. At a meeting of
Jacob Schmutz, Thomas H. Rench,
George Arendt, Joseph Trovinger,
Daniel Schlenker, and others, it was
decided to build a school house on
the crossroads of stone twenty
five feet square by the subscribers
for the benefit of the neighborhood."
John Newman contracted to build
this schoolhouse "on the crossroads
of stone," and Square by the sub
scribers" While this building was
being constructed, Doctor Frederick
Dorsey passed on his rounds. He
stopped to inquire about the build
ing, and when told that the new
school had not yet been named, he
said simply, Call it Paradise" And
it was called Paradise.
Around 1850 this building needed
to be replaced. Accordingly the
citizens, led by Captain Henry Clop-
per and George Petre, subscribed
for a new school house. At meet
ing in 1853, it was discovered that
the subscriptions were for only
enough to about half cover the cost
of new building. There was i'm
mediate talk of just dropping the
whole thing, when George Petre
jumped to his feet and declared that
it was a shame if the community
could not afford a better school for
its children, and he stated that he
would double his subscription. In
a few minutes, nearly every sub
scriber had followed his example,
and the plans for a new building
went ahead. These Leitersburg
district people of century ago sure
ly set us good example of attitude
toward public school needs.
Teachers at Paradise School have
been James Gallon, Jacob Lightcap,
Henry Letter, Michael Feierstine,
George Carson, Samuel Phillips,
Gearhart Bremen, and others.
The Rock Hill School was do
mated by George I. Harry in 1881.
The building was moved to a new

record for this school was Thomas
Hanks, who taught there in 1904
In the summer of that year, he wrote
the following interesting letter,
which has been preserved Notice
the letter style, with the addresses
name appearing at the bottom, after
the signature of the writer.
"SIR: AS the first quarter was to
have been in advance there could be
no doubt of its being due now, but
as did not stand in any great need
of the money till now l did not
think it material to write you for
any; but my family as well as my
self being at this time in a bad state
of health make it indispensably
necessary that l should write you
this note, the purport of which is
the sum of $500, which you will
please to send by one of your boys
in the morning when they come to
school, for which l will send you a
receipt in the evening of the same
day.
Thomas Hanks. -
July "a, 1904.
Mr.. George Ziegler
In 1873 this school was being
taught by a Charles Lavender, and
in 1920, by a Mr.. Crawford. 1 can
not find definitely when this school
was last used, but the building has
been completely removed, so that
the hollow now shows no. evidence
of once having housed a school.
After this school was abandoned,
another one was started not far
away the Jacob Miller School
House at Miller's Church. This one
was built on the farm of Noah E.
Shank. Some of the early teachers
were John Davis, in 1928; Joseph
Miller, in 1927: Thomas Banks, 1929;
and Hilary Herbert the next year.
Mr. Thomas Banks had written in
to his contract with the patrons, a
clause providing for a good and
suitable stove and supply of fuel
delivered to the school house door"
Another school in this section
that dates back to some unknown
time before 1900, was the Jacobs
Church School, located in the middle
of the graveyard of that Church. 1t
was placed there because there was
a rocky ledge that rendered the
ground unsuitable for burying.
The furniture of this school consist
ed of "a template stove in the cen
ter of the room; the teachers desk,
which occupied one corner by the
door; writing desk for girls, OPP
posite the entrance, and one for boys,
along the north side; and several
long slab benches without backs. !"
Some of the teachers on record were:
John Elliot, 1910; Charles Lavender,
1877; a Mr.. Beaver; and for many
years John Mckee, who settled in
this section. In later years this build
ing was used by the sexton of the
church, and finally torn down.

At the time, there were four
schools in the Leitersburg area: the
Jacob Miller School at the Miller
Church ground, which had been
opened after the abandoning of the
districts oldest school, the Hollow
House; Martins School, one mile
east of Leitersburg; the Jacobs
Church school; and the school at
Pleasant Hill. The school fund for
the entire County for that year am
mounted to $4,000, out of which the
Leitersburg schools, comprising
district no. 7, received $4,000. The
year before, the same district re-
ceived $4400. The managers of the
school fund for the Leitersburg dist
riot were William H. Fitzhugh,
Peter Seibert, William Gabby, John
Welty and Marmaduke w. Boyd
The details concerning the found
ing and building of the earliest
schools of this district are not known,
as is true of most localities. But it
is known that George Adam Muel-
Ter was a teacher somewhere near
the Jacobs Church before the Rev
dictionary War. Whether he had a
SchoolhouSe, or used his home, is
not known. And in 1876 Michael
Boor taught. This was about the
time that Joseph Gabby attended
school, as he often related in later
life that he went to a school some
where near his home, and that the
children were nearly all German, or
Pennsylvania Dutch.
1t is probable that these early
teachers taught in the Hollow House
which stood on the farm of John
Barr, for this was certainly the
earliest school building of the dist
riot. 1t is not known just when it
was built, but it must have been
shortly after the first settling in
Leitersburg. :; The schoolhouse was
put up in. hollow between two
steep hills, and was therefore called
the Hollow House" 1t was a long,
log building, with provisions for a
school in one end, and living quar-
tiers for the teacher and his family
in. the other. Most of the very early
schoolhouseS were made in this way.
