Tradi- tion has It that Joseph B. Shugert was supposed to have been the head- master of the new bullding in 1819 It was certainly in existence when Alfred Armstorng was its head In 1824. Although the property had been dedicated to the school on the orignal plan, It was in 1823 when a deed was made by James Harris to the Trustees of the Academy. Presumably the bullding was In ex- istence at that time. The fact that a town of 400 people had an acad- emy, in the days when education for the masses was little thought about, is sufficient to Indicate the import. ance of the project In this period four church con- gregations were In existence. The Presbyterians bullt the first church on the lot now occupied by them In 1819. It Is not known where their sessions were held before that f thie ’ | these ye time but an appointed minister of | that sect had been resident here in’ 1803.
