|
Photo #1 below is shared with us from it's original owned by Dick Fitch of Bolivar, NY, whose Mother, Kate Woodard, is shown in photo and is the teacher standing in white dress near the building corner. The district numbers apparently changed
through the years. The 1869 Atlas of Allegany County shows this area as "Joint District #4, which joins Wellsville #4. This photograph of Kellogg shows the school as Scio District #8.
