| We have included an article on Public Schools taken from the History of Lakeville. The Memories Of The Old One Room School was written by Catherine Thomas (Mrs. Calvin). Her husband is the son Fred Thomas and Nena Cockbain and the grandson of Virgil Thomas and Clara Wescott. Teacher's at the District No 42 school also included Jane Cockbain before she became Mrs. Wells Hale Wescott, Mary Ann Cockbain before she married Wells Hale, and Ora Anderson who married Mary Ann and Wells' son Wells Jay. The picture with the school article shows a class taught by Ora Anderson Wescott, wife of Wells J. Wescott, and was probably taken around 1915 (not 1917 as stated in the caption). |
