house was on a little hill within a quarter of a mile of the spring, about
18x18 and built of split pine logs. The desks were made of
rough boards, and the seats were made of logs with no backs to the puncheon
seats. A stick and dirt chimney was the source of heat. Pokeberries
were the source of ink for his quill pen. Mr. White taught at this school
for one year, his fame spread and he accepted a postion as a teacher in
Crawford county. Not remaining there long due to difficulty with two of
his male pupils, he resigned and returned to Baldwin county and was employed
by Mrs. Hill since David Hill had died. After teaching there he resigned
and became a teacher at the Academy at Milledgeville. After teaching a
year or two there he returned to England. Later H. C. White and N.
S. White, the sons of J. C. White from England taught here. Some of the
