Thank you all for checking this out as I’ve worked on it. The schoolhouses in Jay, Henry, Wayne, Hancock, and Hamilton counties will be written about over at my new website, tedshideler.com. I hope you follow me over there! I’ve made a lot of inroads there, and I’ll map all of my archives.

I hadn’t been out that way in a while, but darned if he wasn’t right. There’s no trace of the 163-year-old structure. I hate to be editorial, but this was always one of my favorite old schoolhouses given how it looked in the summer- the overgrowth enveloped it in such a mysterious way.
