SAXTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Public schools of Suxton are almost as old as Saxton itself. Saxton was founded in 1853 and about the year of 1860 a red brick school house was erected at the place which is now occupied by Mr. Shoterom's printing office. There are still a few citizens of Saxton living who attended this first school. Two oi’ them are Mrs. Katie Hamilton and Mr. George Carothers. Mr. Houston was one of the first teachers in this school. In 1867 a red plonk school building was erected. The east wing of our present school building covers part of the same ground on which the plunk schoolhouse was built. There are many people living in Saxton now, who attended this school. Ahis building stood until 1881 when it was torn down and in its place a two story brick building was erected, part of it still remains. Some of the teachers of this school were Mr. Souser, Prof.Long, Miss Glasgow, and Mrs. Madden. Mr; «John Cessna was the first county super- intendent. A few years later a school house was built along the road below Fockler's Cemetery which was known ts the Cherry Grove School. Some of the teachers in this school were Mr. Elmer wanderson, Mr. David Henry Fesher, end Mrs. Lauru Huff. A. few yours after Cherry Grove School was built u school wcs built at Bunker Hill in Liberty Town- ship. In 1880 the first school house was built in Stoners- town. It was a one story frame building which stood on the place now occupied by Mr. Molly Leonard. About ten years later a two story brick building was built on the place now occupied by the present school building. In 1885 the Berkstresser School was built later it was to' n down and in its place a brick building was erected. This school building is located about a half mile above ’Veavor's Bridge. About 1887 another schoolhouse was built which is known as the Rhodes School House. It stood along the road pbout a quarter of a mile from Rhodes Hill. It was a QOCial center for the boys and girls of 1890 because many Literary Society Meetings and Spelling Bees were held there» Later a one story trick school house was built in East Saxton, just a few years ago this building was torn down, and this school was consolidated with Stonerstown and Saxton Schools. - 28 -
