"Looking at Carroll" Part II Page 2
Page 2
Everyone had apples, cider and popcorn, also sweet corn. We also had snakes galore, but on our farm we never saw a rattler or a copper-head.
We made taffy two or three times a week, but all of us had good teeth and it was unknown for a child to have dental work. I was sixteen before I saw dentist’s chair, in the office of Dr. Frank Struckman, Carroll’s only dentist. His office was on the second floor of the brick building across from the post office. Dr. Struckman, a good dentist, afterward practiced in Basil, then in Lancaster until his death at the close of World War I.
He was bachelor and was born and raised east of Carroll.
My clear memory of the town of Carroll goes back to the year 1878 when I was nine. After having attended the country school called Number One near our farm, I boarded with Scott Courtright, a brother of the late George Courtright. Scott was telegraph operator for the Hocking Valley railroad and his wife’s name was Cora. There were six trains a day at that time and when Scott had to be at the station at night, Cora was glad to have my company.
The south end of town was called Stringtown because th houses were strung out along the road. Next to the Courtright home lived Henry Hartsough, the superintendent of the Carroll school, in the house where Charlie Cooper now lives. Beyond this house was covered bridge leading to the section of town called Galesburg, so named because the sind blew so much there.
The school which I attended at that time was Carroll’s second school building. It was located at the beginning of High Street near the covered bridge by which the highway crossed the Hocking Canal. The school was housed in a two-story brick building containing the primary department on the first floor and the upper grades on the second floor.
The primary teacher was Daniel Danhy who later taught in the Lancaster schools. He married the daughter of Mr. Wolf, was for many years the superintendent of Lancaster schools, and later went to New York, where he becam an attorney. His three sons also became attorneys.
The upper grades, including high school, were taught by the superintendent, William Henry Hartsough. Although this was not a recognized high school and there were no graduation ceremonies, the quality of Mr. Hartsough’s instruction was such that the pupils were qualified to take the county teachers’ examinations and become teachers. Many of the girls went to the Granville Female Seminary, while other students were accepted by such institutions of higher learning as Ohio University and Ohio State University. Several of the boys became telegraph operators by studying with the operator at the Hocking Valley, Scott Courtright.
The school term started about October first and ended about the first of March, so the boys could help with the farm work. After the regular term ended there was a spring term lasting six weeks. At this time the spring term was taught by Miss Rose Sapp.
