"Looking at Carroll" Part II Page 3
Page 3
After spending one year in the Carroll school, I returned to the farm at Chaney;s Crossroad and again attended the school at Number One, also called the Chaney School because of its location near the farm of my grandfather Chaney. Two or three years later my brother Frank, sister Lillie and I were all enrolled in the Carroll school, and the three of us walked a mile each way every day.
During my absence, two more rooms had been added to the brick school house, one upstairs where Frank an I were in high school, and one downstairs where Lillie was in the primary room (8th grade). At this time we were not in the Carroll School District, so it was necessary to pay tuition of $1.25 apiece per month for the two in high school and seventy five cents per month for Lillie in grammar school.
During the first year in high school, I frequently cast admiring glances at a handsome young man who arrived at school in style, with his own horse and buggy. This was Joe Gundy, who later became my husband. He drove from the farm of his father, Isaac Gundy, 2 ½ miles southeast of Carroll. He paid the same tuition as the other high school students and an additional $1.25 to stable his horse and buggy in the barn of John Gierhart, the veterinarian.
When the new schoolhouse was built in 1912, Willard Sands of Columbus, who had been a pupil in the old, bought the schoolhouse and surrounding grounds. Here he built and sold two frame houses now occupied by Mrs. Mary Glick and Franklin Fisher.
Carroll’s first schoolhouse, which served from the founding of the village to the 1860’s, was a small frame building on West Market Street. This building , which was later used as a dwelling by Mr. and Mrs. George Swyers, also housed the first church and Sunday School, organized by the Mehodists. This denomination, known as the Methodist Epsicopal Church at that time, continued to meet in the schoolhouse until 1854. At that time a small frame church was built on the site of the present Methodist Church. In this church the first graduating class of Carroll High School (of which I was a member) held commencement exercises on May 27, 1887.
This first graduating class was composed of three girls and five boys. The two girls who were my classmates were Belle Luallen (later Mrs. Carpenter of Pittsburgh) and Grace Martindale. The five boys were: George Tooill, W.C. Bates, Wallace Kistler, Harry Justice and my brother, Frank E. Wilson. Of this class I am now the sole surviving member.
