from Mathews, page 723
The first school was kept in an old dwelling-house near the present residence of C. D. Mumford. This school is said to have been taught by Miss M. J. Stoddard. This was about 1828. The first school building was erected in 1839 on the hill where the present Protestant Cemetery is. At present there are three school buildings in the borough, - one known as the "King Hill School," another as the "County Bridge School," the third being the Starrucca Graded School building, erected in 1882 and conducted the first year by Professor Lindsay and Mrs. N. L. Woodmansee and the second and third years by Job S. Niles and Mary E.
Farrell.
