that he should be permitted to name the school. In deference to his old friend, General Francis Marion, for whom he had great respect and admiration, the small edifice received the name which today brings fond memories of school da s to many both at homo and on far flung battlefields. Few people are still alive who received a part of their early training in this original Marion School. When the school population had outgrown this structure, e one room building was placed at Naomi and e larger one of wood was constructed on the sito of the present grade and Jr. High building at Marion. This was to be more centrally located on a plot then owned by the Cooks. f -fffi9f+Pl12?f2sf- F ..,.,.. 'jill-Leitifzf Ff15-1Li,1i15sg?fg,- f i -X EN In the fall of 1866, Mr. James Alton moved his classes to their new location. This became the community center where the Sunday School, spelling bees, literary society, and tho evening writing classes were conducted. As the community, with its grist mills, woolen mills, and later its mines, grew and prospered, it became necessary to accommodate more students, so two rooms fone above the other? , were added at the rear. In 1899, the one room building in the front was sold and moved beck to make a dwelling. Four rooms were new added in front of the two, making a six room building.
