EARLY COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS Thanks to the collected works of Dr. Charles L. Arvin on the Monrgomery County Schools
Byrd School - District School # 7 - Scott Township - Source: "SCOTT, BROWN & UNION TOWNSHIP", "NEW MARKET School" prepared by Charles L. Arvin, April 2000According to Bill Boone, "Clark Township school, Byrd School was two miles west on Haw Creek road. - thanks Bill Boone :)" There could have been two schools with the same names, but since the offical school records of early 1900 list it Scott Township, I would go with that. Here is a possible location from the 1898 Montgomery County Atlas, northwest corner of section 36.
Photo of Byrd School, thanks to Bill Boone!

Dr. Stone SchoolNo other Dr. Stone is known but a William Overton Stone who lived just over the border into Putnam County - love to know about who this school (Section 20) This school may have been in Clark Township. - also wonder if it is Stoner vs. Stone - again, HELP !!! Thanks
EDEN School -- AKA School #1 -- AKA - GravesThanks to Suzie for this one and most on this page :) This was located in Section #11 and was also known as School #1 in Scott Township.
- Map Location. The 1878 Montgomery County Atlas has it labeled as School #2, Dr. Arvin's work he calls it School #3. It is a toss up? It also shows on the 1898 and 1917 Atlases, though it is not numbered.
- In June of 1999 this school was for sale. Later purchased by Bane-Welker Equipment to be remodeled and become their corporate headquarters. Click on the name link above to see.
- Located in Scott Township. Fairview - Later remodeled by Bane-Welker Equipment. Located on US 231 and County Road 700 South used as their administrative office. See a photo of their complex showing school building. Thanks to Bill Boone for the old school picture :)

FROG ISLAND -- AKA -- Swindler -- also School #2In Scott Township, this school was on property given by one of the Swindlers. It was in section 1. School likely existed in late 1800s early 1900s - thanks to Suzie :) I have checked the 1878 and 1898 Atlass' and did not see this school or property owns by the name Swindler. School #2/3 was Fairview according to School records.
Goodbar School was on land in Section #32, Scott Township and was obviously given by one of the Goodbar families in the area, likely Dickerson or John.
On the 1878 Montgomery County Atlas this shows as School # 8. Located east of where the Parkersburg School (9) was located. It is shown on the 1917 map under Parkersburg School Map. It does not shoe on the 1898 Montgomery County Atlas page. JWZ
HENRY SchoolHenry School in Scott Township was given by the Martin Henry family. It was on land in Section #23
Found on the 1878 Montgomery County Atlas. Shows as school # 4, located east of Lapland.

PARKERSBURG SchoolPicture of a high school class of Parkersburg School about 1923 - thanks so much to Teddy Alfrey for this one -- his grandmother, Viola Finchum Ross is by the teacher in back row (with beads). If you know anyone in the picture, please let me know as Teddy & I would both like to know Gma' Ross's companions :)
The last school picture taken in the fall of 1937. There were eight grades of students, and names are listed. This copy thanks to Bill Boone.
Bill McNulty notes on the Crawfordsville Facebook page that "The school was located at 256 E. 1150 S.., on the north side of the road, about 300 yards east of U S 231." See the location on the 1917 Montgomery County Atlas. Parkersburg School is circled in YELLOW. There is another school ?, to the east about one mile circled in Orange, my thoughts are school #8?

SERVIES SchoolThanks again to Ms Suzie from the Reference Department at the Crawfordsville District Public Library. The Servies school was also known as School #3, located in Scott Township and was in Section 17 on property given by one of the several Servies families in the area. The location on the 1878 Montgomery County Atlas. I think this is in the heart of downtown Lapland. It may have beome school # 4 after 1900.
