Schools: a school building was erected in a village at a cost of $500 (the first in the village); two-department schools were established at Shopiere and Johnstown; graded-school classes resumed with Prof. Whitford; Susanna M. Spicer's connection (1851–1858) ended.

The evidence

• “Susanna M. Spicer, 1851-1858. During a part of 1853, the building being untenable, classes met in a private house, and for a part of the year the school was closed.”
