FROG CHAPEL

Several of the schools in Jackson Township were off of State Road 32 - this one on the north side of the road about one mile from the Montgomery County line. Tice (Matthias) Livengood deeded the land for the school in 1877 - he had five small children at the time. Once the school close about 1922-23 Tice's daughter, Lillie (wife of Earl Wilkinson) received the land back.
