For a number of years there were only a very few people who lived in and around the vicinity which we call Mars Hill today. Work was begun, how- ever, and the civilization here began to grow. Educational opportunities for the children were very much limited. The dire need for schools became increasingly evident to the older people as the years passed. There were no schools nearby where the children could attain knowledge. A boarding school was organized near Burnsville, but this was several miles away and was dilhcult for the students to reach over the mountain roads. Even Asheville was just a small rural settle- ment Without schools. and Asheville children had to be sent away to secure their education. There is some doubt as to who was the First to conceive the idea of a school at Mars Hill. Rev. William Keith, -I. W. Anderson, and Edward Carter joined together in this venture, the first school being built on property belonging to Mr. Carter. It is reported that some of these men and their relatives sent children away to Burnsville to attend school. These children were converted at a revival and joined the hlethodist Church. Their parents, being all staunch Baptists, were aroused by this proselyting. It was decided best to educate the children under the influence of their own doctrines and beliefs. but to do this, schools were needed. Thus. with others joining zealously in this effort, the school which was to become Mars Hill College was founded where it stands today. ,I U'iftfz'121rH fit'HfUVIlr'1lf -I Sffinof fy I,'o1rf'wl-:nl ' ' ' i ' ' 7 'lfd'1ii 'lZl!!'!i!iVl!54'tilW'uBiE!llwlW1Lf5lIif!2unf2-'d15Ihi+iLt1Ild 1 1 1 5 ALHVH' - '. l l7 'H i i Uldlr' 159' fllflfa -i ' ', Ef1 '1,.Q , j ,ff-r-2 i i' ffi'17 ' 'l 'T A T' :J f1:!',:Q'E : 1' A 1 L i x I H , '. ,,. .iliizl-'we 'C ziaaaaniz-11:11 j::fi,i-eihmzfiruizF-fiat-lv''ftSyst:-iff.-ln.i.:llaal5n:.iinlMs.s,1'iiiEmll'-Js...o-1it!-villla-:n...u1'lii,.:.i1.sui. t-L.-fa. .ia-ii . -, cn Z j. fl gl ll .lt il lil ii' 1 A l 3 l
