This Photo was taken by Joyce M. Tice on a misty day in April 1998 while
standing on a stone wall on top of Round Top, looking north. (See the
1903 Elk Run School Page for Explanation of and location of Round Top) The
photo shows the McConnell and Wood places on the border of the Red School and
Elk Run School Districts. Even though the Wood Place was in the Elk Run School
District, students who lived there went to the Red School because it was closer.
Conversely, in one year, Jim McConnell of the Red School District per the 1875
map, attended the Elk Run School. Either the district boundaries changed
periodically, or chldren had some flexibility where they attended. On the map,
the location where I stood to take the photo is just to the right of the name D.
T. Smith who, with his wife Lucretia Welch, owned the property prior to my
grandparents. The two locations photographed are identifed as J. McConnell in
the Red School District, and the W. that shows at the edge of the map for the W.
H. Wood place in the Elk Run District to the east.
