The First School



The first school was taught by Daniel F. McCune, in a log school house on Section 3, near A. C. Sutliff’s place, on a line between Sections 3 and 10. The house was built by the neighbors clubbing together, in the winter of 1844-5. It was of hewed logs; had slab benches, and a big open fireplace. Mr. McCune had sixteen or eighteen scholars, and received $10 per month. He died in Solon.
