he company for his loyal service.
He had started with the company

People are still asking questions
about the Huntsville fire that killed
all five of the Harden Coon, Jr.
family, and their questions will un-
doubtedly stay mnanswered and un-
answerable. nz pit
What we cannot ever really un-
derstand is that these facts of life
sooner or later drop a viel of
mourning on the history of every
community. How many headlines of
disasters in North Dakota and Mis-
issippi did you gkip over with a
raising of eyebrows?
It seems, of course, that we in
the Back Mountain have had more
trouble in the last year or two
than in any time in recent history.
I guess it always seems that way.
That this was unquestionably the
worst single day in the past year,
although by time's bitter irony, it
happened on the first day of a new
one, is witnessed by casual conver-
sation at each crossroads. People
politely wait for you to finish what-
ever you've been talking about, and
then come back to the fire.
At a Brownie meeting in Leh-
man, the leader tried in vain to
bring the talk away from the sub-
ject. And a little voice added: “I
don’t have anyone to play with
anymore.”

The Lehman Township Board of

of the police force, for one, won't
be able to make it because of work.

up and down the work road direct-
ly over the famous ‘hanging wall,”

about the heroic buttress; “That

Dallas and Lehman fire com-
panies are likely to change chiefs,
both by resignation, if what the

service to the communities, and are
owed a vote of thanks.

In old Kingston Township, which
extended from the River to include
part of the present. Shavertown,
there were eight school districts in
1834, the year the school act was
passed, several in our area as fol-
lows: No. 5, Upper Mountain Dis-
trict, Carverton, number of child-
ren 77, share of public money
$52.44; No. 6, Middle Mountain
District, Harris Hill, number of
children 49, share of public money
$39.49; No. 7, Lower Mountain
District, Trucksville, number of
children 19, share of public money
$12.34; No. 8, Hollow District, Mill
Hollow (Luzerne), number of child-
ren 47, share of public money
$44.42. The public money mention-
ed was derived from certain lots
of public lands set aside by the
proprietors for the sole purpoge of
school suoport. Later these lands
became valuable and much money
was derived there from
The proprietors held school meet-
ings and appointed school commit-
tees, ordered buildings built, teach-
ers hired, ,etc. One minute book
goes back as far as 1795. In my own
time there was still standing a one-
story wooden schoolhouse along the
creek just above Luzerne Junction,
about where Luzerne Motor Co. is
now. It was marked by a sign read-
ing “Island School” built in 1813.”
My grandmother attended this
school. Why it was called “Island”
was never clear to me unless the
creek had an island there when it
was first built.
Township proprietors under the
Connecticut system 1a use’ here
also hired preachers and arranged
far services in the schoulhouses.
Scheolhouses were common piaces

for many years, and no one thought
of court action to stop it.
Kingston Township School No. 7
stood rncar Tobys Creek above the
intersection of the road to Harris
Hill and the creek road. Within the
past hundred years or so, there
were a number of schools in the
rural pert of the township away

schoo 1 along Abrahams (re:iz along
the road from the Carverton area

within about half a mile southeast
and northwest of Carverton Chuich.
There was a rural school at Harris

one rootn school on Center Street,
Shavertown was later doubled then
taken out of school service and re-
placed by a two-storied frame
building. This ' is relatively new,
maybe thirty or forty years old. ,
The two schools
are also comparatively recent. The
Westmoreland Building built for
high school purposes is about thir-
ty years old, maybe a little older.
The elementary building” replaced
an older one which was destroyed
by fire.
As far as I have ever heard, Frank-
lin Township never had anything
larger than one room schools. In
earlier days there was one up near
Lockville called Diamond (Dymond)
Hollow. Half a mile or so south of
Orange, on the road toward Ketch-
am, the Flat Rock School was lo-
cated. There may have been one in
the village of Orange, but not to
my knowledge.
There were schools in the general
area of Memorial Shrine Cemetery,
before the Cemetery was located
there, one on the road toward the
ncrth called the “Good” School
(probably from a local family), a
later one a little farther south called
Mountain School. North of Orange,
one of the more recently operated
schools was named Forest Grove.
On the road crossing south of Per-
rings Marsh there was a school
named Michigan, sometimes pro-
nounced Michi-gan’, accent on the
last syllable. ;

items in this column recently ques-
tioned. Most of these were not

PROUD TO BE A’ NEIGHBOR
Dear Editor:
The recent and terrible tragedy
which occurred at Huntsville, Jan.
1, and took the lives of the entire
A. Harden Coon family, causes one
to pause and reflect on the stark
realism of these everpresent poten-
tial tragedies. It also causes one to
pause for a moment to be thank-
ful for his family and himself in the
face of such tragedies. This, then,
brings out the point I am trying to
make in writing this letter.
The gallant but vain efforts of the
volunteer firemen who worked to
the point of sheer exhaustion;
whose ‘guts were torn apart” in
their anxiety to recover the family
alive; whose courage bordered on
heroism; who inhaled enough smoke
and fumes to make some of them ill
but would not give in; who gently
combed with fire rakes, tons of
debris to recover the bodies of the
victims; whose actions demon-
strated more than professionalism;
and who in their efforts brought

out the meaning of co-operation
and Democracy in action; they were
beyond expectations.
For the police who controlled the
scene with. great efficiency, and for
the women eof the auxiliaries in
their efforts te make the tasks of
the men a little easier; for all of
these people, I have the most pro-
found respect.
“We, the people of the Back Moun-
tain area, should get down on. our
collective knees and thank God for
men and women of this calibre and
courage who are the Guardian
Angels of us all. We should! I know
I do. I am extremely proud to know
and be a neighbor of these worthy
people.

There was a great whirring of wings one morning, and a large
ruffed grouse took off from the stone steps leading to the kitchen
porch.
I've never been as fond of a grouse since finding that it’s a ruffed
and not a ruffled grouse. It was Ed| Johnson that disillusioned me.
He said, ‘For pity’s sake, Mrs.
just think it IS a ruffled grouse?”
Hicks, can’t you spell, or do you
Yes, Ed, I really thought it WAS a ruffled grouse, and I don’t
care to find that it doesn’t wear a frill. I had envisaged it with a
white collar, lace edged.
It is just as disillusioning as
finding the correct pronunciation : 3

mined the foundations of my being when I was ten years old.
Volunteers To Devotion
Anybody in the Back Mountain who has ever been
lukewarm about contributing to the annual drive for
funds for the fire companies
and the ambulance associa-
tions of the area, should take a long hard look at the
loyalty shown by those hardworking men on New Year's
Day.
Giving up their holiday, they flocked to Huntsville
to stage the heroic struggle to recover bodies of victims
of the blaze which took five lives, an entire family of
father, mother and three little children. >
Long after any possible hope of rescue was gone,
something which happened in the first five minutes of the
battle, these volunteers clung doggedly to their posts,
risking their lives. All the fire companies worked together
without jealousy, each member doing his job without hope
of reward, or even of success.
It was their job, and they did it. :
They painstakingly sifted ashes for evidence, work-
ing in a degree of heat which was unbelievable, heat
which would be expedted if a bri®k' kiln, but not in"a
burned structure.
Eyes streaming from smoke and vapor, boots melt-
ing, they took it in shifts.
The fire companies spelled each other, realizing the
hazard to the rest of the Back Mountain.
They worked
together like a well-oiled machine, insuring fire coverage
for the rest of the area while
; in Huntsville.
the major battle was fought
Ambulances and crews stood by. As walls were pulled
down, there was constant danger of serious injury. That
none occurred, is a tribute to
the knowledge of fire-fight-
ing possessed by these friends and neighbors.
Each household in the Back Mountain is asked to
make a small donation each
company which protects it.
year for support of the fire
It is incredible that some residents feel that the small
donation is too large. Where else can you get such, serv-
ice from a five dollar bill?

Austin out of the ditch New Years
Day, a whole flock of Thanks. Tt
was impossible to wait to give them
a word of appreciaion, not to men-
tion something more substantial,
because a whole line of cars was
panting in the rear, their drivers
anxious to commit suicide on the
slippery road.
