Setuwik When he saw the log school house, Joshua Bradley extorted the people to build a school building which would be more worthy of their high aspirations which brought them to this area. It was to be called Union Academy because it was never to be ruled by any sect or church domination. It was to belong to all of the people. Giles Hall gave the land, about six acres. Elder Kennedy offered to hew the timbers. The Hungerfords offered lime from their kiln. The services of the Boomer'8 oxen were donated to draw the lime. The Overtons promised the use of their teams. Mosley Wood was to make the foundation. The Martins and the Reeds would do the carpentry work. The Cooks and Scotts were to assist the masons In building the walls. The Warrlners, SallsburyB and Stanleys chose to shave out the shingles during long winter evenings. The Robbins and the Ereleighs were to nail the shingles to the roof. The people from Bishop Street made the nails. A gift of $100.00 from Joseph Bona parte, brother of the great Napoleon was received. While the building was being built, classes were held In the upper part of the Baptist Church. Everyone contributed according to his ability and means, On April 13, 1826, an act of incorporation was obtained from the Legis- lature. The building was completed during the year 1826, and was dedicated on January 1, 1827. On January 5 1828, it was received under a visitation of the regents on appreciation of the trustees. Charles Avery was the first principal. He began service In 1829. Through the prosecution of an action to forclose against the property in the fall of 1837 the school was closed tut the trustees,with the help of Jebediah Buchard raised funds sufficient to cancel the indebtedness. The school was re-opened with J.3. King as principal in 1840.
