HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY
CEDAR CREEK TOWNSHIP
SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS


	The first school of the township was taught by a crippled man 
named RICHARD CANON, in a small hut built of poles or small logs, on 
what is now THOMAS DICKERSON'S place, southeast of Lowell, on the east 
bank of Cedar Creek. The house was built for a dwelling by THOMAS 
CHILDERS. But one term was taught in this house. Among the patrons of 
this school were THOMAS CHILDERS, WILLIAM WELLS, THOMAS WELLS and Mr. 
CROSS. Miss P.J. CHILDERS and SARAH BEADLE were the only large pupils 
attending the school. The second school was probably about one-fourth 
mile east of the corporate limits of Lowell on what is now SIMEON 
SANGER's place. It was held in a small log dwelling of EPHRAIM 
CLEVLAND in 1839. JOHN ROBISON was the teacher. This was the only term 
taught in this building. The BRYANTS, SANGERS, FULLERS, SMITHS and 
LAFLERS and perhaps others were sent to this school.
