MARCELLUS SCHOOLS.
The founding of a village at Marcellus Center soon made necessary the formation of a school of higher grade than the ordinary district school, the children of the villagers at first attending the school east of town. In I874 district Nol. 9 was organized within the village, the first meeting being in August. The first school board were: Levi Bridge, W. O. Matthews, David Snyder. Under the supervision of George W. Jones, Leander Bridge and David Hain, as building committee, $1,OOO was expended in the erection of a one-story brick schoolhouse, 24 by 36 feet in dimensions. Joel Booth was the first teacher. In 1876 a second story was added at a cost of $8,44. and thereafter two teachers employed, Miss Kellogg being the extra teacher. The number of scholars increased so that rooms had to be rented in Centennial hall. The last teacher in the old building was Eugene Bradt, assisted by Estella Hoisington and Mrs. John Baent.
