MINUTES OF PREBLE SCHOOL DISTRICT
1814 TO 1857
An Introduction by M.D. Winner, Jr.
These minutes were originally
transcribed in the late 1920’s by James Henry (Jay) Rockwell. Writing
under the name of J.A. Chartully for
the Rural New Yorker, his article
about the “Little
House” appeared in
the
transcription of these minutes.
Purpose
and Scope—In
August 2000, Rockwell’s typewritten
transcription of these minutes was
photocopied with the aim to preserve
his work and to make it available to researchers. Rockwell’s
work on these minutes was a very
meticulous transliteration of the original handwritten text into
typed text. He deliberately included
misspellings; inconsistencies in format, capitalization, and
abbreviations; and in the
spacing of letters and words. For example,
where the handwriting showed
the abbreviation of a word ending in a
superscript “d,” —as was the style of the day—he carefully
adjusted the typewriter roller and
typed the “d” as a superscript with the period below just as it
appeared in the minutes. He also added
many comments as footnotes to explain quaint word usage,
name variations, crossed out phrases
and words, places where text placement
was confusing, as well
as a wry observation or two.
He placed his
footnotes at the bottom of the page in capital letters to
distinguish them from his typed
transcription.
In preparing this second version of
Rockwell's transcription, I have tried to be as faithful in
reproducing his typed manuscript.
Various footnote characters, spacings, and placements were
duplicated as closely as possible. In a
few places there seemed to me to be some typographical
errors made during the typing. These
were transpositions that normally would not have been
made in writing. I chose to keep his
transcription as he typed it.
Rockwell’s “Dramatis Personae” (cast of
characters) list at the end needed some repair. The list
was not fully in alphabetical order and
some pagination was missing. I have corrected this, keeping
his same format. Many names appear
often throughout the text with varied spellings, depending on
the clerk recording the minutes at the
time. I believe that the correct spelling of names appears on
this list, as far as Rockwell
believed them to be. The pagination for each
name is given where it first
appears in the minutes.
I also have added some footnoted
comments of my own to give a bit more “historical life” to the
minutes. For example,
money values given in English shillings and
pence were translated to their
dollars and cents equivalent for the
time period. My footnotes are in brackets [
] and in an obviously
different font style. I have also
inserted a few genealogical footnotes to show relationships among a
few of the school district members.
The
School House(s)—By about
1859 the “Little Red School House” had replaced at
least two
earlier log structures, and had been
built on another parcel of land on the east side of
the
Valley road across from the earlier
buildings. As best reconstructed for the present, this
location
seems to be in the northwest part of
school district consisting of Lots 55,
56, 65, and 66, each about a mile square. [See photo section.]
The minutes tell us that the trustees
of the District specified that this new school house be painted red.
What happened to the red school house?
William J. (Bill) Van Patten remembers going to school in
a building that currently (2001) stands
about a half-mile from his farm on the
He believes that his school house
either had been moved or rebuilt about 500 feet from the former
location of the red school house before
he attended it. This later school house obviously does not
resemble the specifications given in
the minutes for the “red school house,” and likely was a
replacement for it. This school house
was abandoned about 1930 when Bill was
in the 4th grade.
[See photo section.]
The
Minutes—The
original book of minutes is now in the possession of Bill Van Patten. His
great-grandfather, John
R. Van Patten, and great-great grandfather, Ryer Van Patten, were
active participants in this early
Preble school district, as was Jay
Rockwell’s grandfather,
James S. Van Patten, brother
of John R. The book of minutes came
into the possession of Jay
Rockwell from his grandfather, who made
some of the later entries in it as clerk of the District.
Later,
Jay’s daughter, Rachel Graham of
passed it on to Bill Van Patten.
The 6- by 8-inch leather-bound book
contains 166 pages of a handwritten record of the proceedings
of the District meetings,
26 of which have been removed for unknown
reasons in three different
places throughout the book. [See photo
section.] One of Rockwell’s footnotes speculates that the
pages were removed to start a fire in
the cold school house. Some credence is lent to this theory
by the fact that the missing pages were
removed during a cold season, but there seems to be no
break in the record of meetings. Only a
few scheduled meetings were either not recorded or no
meeting took place. There were more
than 20 different clerks who scribed entries in the book
during the 43-year period, each with
distinctive (and sometimes troublesome) handwriting according to
Rockwell’s notes.
In addition to being an interesting
account of the history of an early school in the area, the minutes
contain the names of more than 100
individuals, residents in the Preble School District No. 7, who
were associated with the supervision
and development of the school. Hopefully, some researchers
might find an ancestor relative among
these records and discover their involvement in this community.
I have to thank “cousin” Bill Van
Patten for allowing us access to the minutes, as well as letting us
scan his extensive collection of
vintage photographs of our relatives. Printed copies of this second
transcription are on file at the Tully
Area Historical Society in Tully, N.Y., and at the
County Historical Society in

equivalent to about $2.38. Compare this salary

Colonies and the new American
currency and occasionally lapsed into
the Colonial currency terminology
