School Report OF 1892
Found In Buckingham,

that d strict was thoughtful
enough to turn the reports into
the school board office.
These are the only school term
reports. and now there is only
one monthly report of its kind
prior to 1921. AS stated on the
reports. the white teachers
monthly pay was $25 and colored
teachers $40. There was only five
months to a school session in
1892.
The county deputy registrar of
vital statistics. Mrs. Carolyn B.
Rice, is very happy at the dis
c0very of this record. Nov,
there will be a valid proof of
age of persons attending that
school in March 1892" she said.
Buckingham county residents
are urged to examine old rec
ords. correspondence. books, ETC.,
very carefully before destroying
them. Who knows what valuable
pieces of evidence may be lost
forever?
For instance, right now our
Civil War Committee is looking
for every scrap of letters, rec
ords. pictures. books uniforms
and weapons. ETC., it can borrow.
If anyone knows or can locate
anything of that nature. contact
Miss Judith Corson, chairman of
the Civil War Centennial here.
In addition to that Buckingham
county is getting ready for a
celebration of its founding 200
years ago and history of the
county is sadly lacking because
of the destruction of all county
records in 1865.
If anyone has anything such as
plat, drawings, old dedS. old
pictures, correspondence. diaries,
records, etc. contact w. C.
Sprouse, chairman of the Buck
ingham unity Bicentennial
Committee or a director, to see
if it can be used for display dur
ing the bicentennial celebration
