HISTORY OF SCHOOLS THOMAS MILLS SCHOOL The Thomas Mills school is located about five hundred feet from the Somerset Pike. The first free school there in 1869 was taught by David Hummer. The term started November 8, 1869 and ended March 9, 1870. Seventy-six pupils of whom four were twenty years old were included in this first free public school. Previous to 1869 subscription school was held. WERTZ SCHOOL The Wertz School, a one room brick building located south of the North Fork Dam, at one time was located where now lies sixty-feet of Iohnstown drinking water. The school was sold at the end of the 1937-38 term to Mr. Frank Eash who plans to make a home out of the structure. LIVINGSTON SCHOOL The Livingston School is a one room wooden building located on the Somerset Pike adjacent to the Grange Hall. At one time this school was located directly across the highway from its present location. Mr. Griffith, who bought the building, plans to turn it into a recreation hall. TIRE HILL SCHOOL The Tire Hill school was built about 1860 along the Davidsville Pike at the Tire Hill Crossroads where the Tire Hill garage is now located. The school was large enough to accomodate the farming community and Krings Station until the mines opened and a larger building was constructed in 1909. EASH SCHOOL The first Eash school constructed in 1878 was a one-room building and housed between 65 to 70 pupils. Samuel Shetler was one of the first teachers at this structure. The second building, a two-room school, was constructed in 1910. Nine years later in 1919 the present school was constructed. It con- sisted of four rooms, but two rooms were added later on. MAPLE RIDGE SCHOOL In 1913 the Maple Ridge school was built to alleviate the overcrowded conditions in the Eash school. An arbitrary division line was made and pupils attended the Eash or Maple Ridge schools on the basis of this division. The first classes were held in the Maple Ridge building upon its completion in 19141. MILLER SCHOOL The latest Miller School was built in 1903 after two structures had previously been used. The first school was located on ground given by Mr. Miller. Later the school was moved up the hill to ground given by Shetlers. During the past four or five years approximately forty pupils have been in attendance each ye-ar. KEAFER SCHOOL Land for the Keafer School was obtained from Henry Keafer on the condition that the land be used for school purposes. At one time the school was located further up the hill from its present location. Only thirteen or fourteen pupils have gone to the school each year during the last five years.
