Joyce, while going through some of my deceased parents stuff the other day I discovered this picture. Chatham Township school was located in Little Marsh and was built in the early 1930's. My father was in the first graduation class that had gone through the high school from 9-12. Before that the lower grades went to a one room school house in Shortsville and would go to Wellsboro for high school if they could. My dad's older brother, Charles, rode the train from the Junction in Middlebury Center each Sunday evening and stayed in a home there during the week and came home again on Friday late. The school burned on Good Friday, March, 1958. It had grades 1 & 2 in one room, 3,4,&5 in another and 6,7 & 8 in a separate room. There was also a special education class the last 3 years before it burned. All with one teacher per room. The high school had an English teacher, a Science teacher who was also the principal, a Math teacher and a history teacher. Latin was also taught .We also had a candy store that was open after lunch and for afternoon recess (15 mins). Our nurse's office was in the same location. It was basically a college prep high school. I was in 8th grade when it burned down and we got consolidated with Cowanesque Valley Jointure in Westfield the following school year. The Chatham Fire Department Firehouse is now situated on the spot where the school used to be.
Thanks,
