History of Chatham School The present Chatham schools are an outgrowth of the spirit that, supported the first and foremost academy in this portion of the County. In 1860 the school was known as a select school. An opportunity for better educational advantages was made possible by the purchase of a new site and erection of a larger building in the year of 1867. This, building served very well for school and community activities for over a half century. Among the prominent educators of this period may be mentioned these: Hon. Theodore Burton, Ex-Senator and present Con- gressman; L. F. Garver, prominent merchant of Medina. This period of school history boasts of having contributed to the growth of some useful men and women. Among them, Charlie Whitman, former Governor of New York State, was a son of a local minister. The late Edith Thomas, poetess for the Harper’s Monthly, A. C. Dustin, prom- inent lawyer of Cleveland. The following, Dr. E. L. Whitney, Walahala, Washinton; Dr. Archie Moody, Southern California; Dr. Geo. Hartman, Muskeegon, Michigan ; and Dr. Clyde Clapp of Baltimore, Maryland. Ros- coe Thatcher, connected with the Agricultural College of Cornell Uni- versity, who served on an Agricultural commission appointed by the Presi- dent. J. H. Brigham, Assistant to the Sec’y of Agriculture under Presi- dent McKinley. Ir Gillett, bishop of Portugese East Africa. The first graduating class of the recognized school was about the year 1899. Each year has added to this number. The old academy had served its period of usefulness and the people of Chatham Township saw the need of a larger and more modern building. In the years of 1921-22 the present building was erected. The spirit of the people is in accord with all the movements of pop- ular education, and their aim is to have its educational affairs rank with the best.
