• Razing Old School Brings Memories Of Many Years Ago
Edifice Erected in 1872 on Upper Eleven Mile - Community Center as Well as School Building
Frank Walker of the Eleven Mile is the author of the following story of the demolishing of a very old school building, which will interest many readers:
The dismantling of the upper Eleven Mile school house by Harry Guyon, who will build a home just over the state line on the Wellsville road, brings many memories to the minds of the older people of the community.
This ancient landmark was built by Allan Hammond in 1872 on ground purchased from Perry Burdick, and after nearly 75 years the first quality of pine and hemlock lumber is still in excellent condition.
Among the early teachers of the school was Miss Maggie Doyle, who is still living on the Eleven Mile, and recently celebrated her 81st birthday. Among her pupils appear the names of R. A. Butterfield, Jack and Jim Tormey, Lottie Rozell and Eva Rozell, Frank Hyde and T. C. Walker.
Other teachers were Coleman Smith, Jim Dexter, Dolly Fox, Will Clancy, Fanny, Mabel, Clara and Mary Walker, Jessie Jones, Dora O'Donnell, Catherine Carrol, Anna McGinnis, Della Spencer and Lyle Spencer.
At one time sixty pupils were in attendance when the school room was divided and two teachers were employed.
The first directors were Dennis McGinnis and Fred Rozell, who served many years. Forty-eight children from four families, namely the Coyles, Hart, Markey and Moran families, received their basic training within its walls.
Many are the names and initials found carved on desks and walls of those who "entered to learn and went forth to serve", and now are scattered to the four corners of the earth.
The school building for many years served as a community center and a place of public gatherings, and with its passing go memories of religious services, entertainments, medicine shows, broken bones, thick slices of bread and butter, shin-digs in the hall, Butterfield saw mill and saw dust pile, teachers who used the rubber hose and some who pulled hair to enforce discipline.
The countryside is dotted everywhere with abandoned school houses, a sign of the changing times in which we live, and many a community could write the same story. Another landmark has gone. The writer is indebted to R. A. Butterfield for much of this information.
