To the Editor:
As old folks do, I recently was looking at old photos and family memorabilia and suddenly realized I may be the last person alive who got most of my education at the one-room country school at Frost Hill.
The school was closed when I finished the 7th grade, which would have been 1936 or 37. I’ve tried to remember some of the people who went to school there:
Francis and Earl Morse
Ruth, Rebecca, and Rachel Hill
Durwood, Albert, and Donald Hill
Harry, Hilda, Dorothy, and Gerald Bennett
3 Maki girls (the 2 names I recall are Lillian and Helen)
Allen Crooker
2 Thurlow girls
Mildred Frost
There were others, but memory fails. Helen Brett was the teacher.
I was born in Paris, Maine on August 10, 1924. Left Maine in 1943 and never returned to stay. Lived in South Carolina from 1945-1982, then moved to New Mexico, my home ever since. Thought this might be some information for the kin-folks, some of whom I’ve remembered. Excuse the scribbling; at 99, it’s hard to write.
Francis ‘Buddy’ Morse
