Schools of Greenfield Township

To the early residents of Greenfield Township, education was as important as religion. From the earliest records, there appears to have been more schools than churches. More than a few of the early congregations met in schoolhouses long before they had churches. Although our founding fathers declared that "a school or schools shall be established in each county," it wasn't until around 1835 that a public school system was passed into law.

I'd like to extend a very special THANK YOU to Ruby Kimball, of the Hornby School Restoration Society. Most of the detailed information on the individual schools came from original documents that are owned by the Society. With Ruby's help, I was able to scan many of them so that they are digitally preserved on this web site. Included are teachers' names and photos, Board of Education members, and class lists. To see these documents, click on the highlighted school name. I will add more as time permits. Other information has been extracted from the Bates 1884 History of Erie County that is included as a part of the Erie Co (PA) Genealogy Web site.
