School Section #6 [1850-1858] Until
recently, we didn’t realize that School Section #6 even existed. While
looking over the 1860 Wallings’ map, a school was
noted on Lot 17, Concession 1. Further
research found the school mentioned in the Adolphustown Council minutes in
1850. The
original School Section #1 was divided into two parts, the second school
building (named S.S. #6) being
erected on what is now the Bayshore Road. It
was short-lived. The
school was closed in 1858 and the two sections again united as S.S. #1. No
further information has been found. |

We the undersigned inhabitants of the Township of Adolphustown in the
first concession, finding the very great inconvenience at present arising
from the situation of the division School House, pray the Township Council to
make such Regulation, as may be most conducive to the inhabitants - for
making two School Sections in the Concession. And as in duty bound will ever pray Adolphustown 11th February 1850 |
