Dear Joyce,
I lived in Lowman, NY for 30 plus years, right across for the Lowman
School in the photo on your site. It was originally built on the
"Lowman Family" property. Ward and Julia (Lowman) Saunders owned
the property that the school was built on; there was a provision that when
it was no longer used as a school, that the property and building would
revert back to the family, which it did. One of Ward's children (Judy
Saunders Ripley) lived in the house for several years (in the 1980's);
it is now vacant, but still owned by Julia Saunders, who lives in Lowman,
NY 14861 (Town of Chemung, NY). One of the teachers was Mrs. Francis
Warren, who lived on Hoffman Hollow Rd. in Lowman; she and her husband
are both deceased now; they had one son, whose first name escapes me now.
I am sure that Mrs. Julia Saunders would be more than happy to share what
she knows about the school; also, Jason Copley Knapp, Lowman, NY would
be knowledgeable. Of course, the historian for Town of Chemung is
and excellent source too.

Hi Joyce,
I attended that school when I was in the first and second grade walked
3 miles each way to get to school from ashland township it is a one room
school that taught 1-8 grades. the left side of building was the
schooling area and the right side is what was in that day the gym.
To the left there was a large tree that had a swing in it. I lived in the
old Searles homestead Alfred was my Great grandfather.
