**********
I have added the above to my web site; Early Schools of Fulton County, Ohio;
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~keller/school/schol/index.html
in the section about The Whitcomb School. I also added a newspaper article
from 1938 which discusses the issue of local self-government and control of
schools. In 1938 the one-room schools in Pike Township were consolidated
into the school building at Winameg, Pike Township, Fulton County, Ohio. If
you have any history or photos you would like to add to the web site, please
contact me.
