    Comments, Additional Information, References

    This was known as "the stone pile school". Edgewood Road is now called Connors Road. The 'thoroughfare' (also known as Bangall Road in the 19th century), is now called W Dead Creek Road. The school stood on the southwest corner and was replaced with a wooden building prior to 1920. The wooden school still stands and is a residence. The school served residents of "The Kingdom", as it is still called today. The last school was closed in 1955 and sold as a private residence. Richard Palmer blog
