This was the last year the
Port Oneida School was used as a school, before consolidation with Glen
Arbor. In winter the kids sledded down the hill behind the school.
"During the 15-minute recess you had all you could do to get dressed, get
your sleigh up on top of the hill, & take one slide down before it was time
to go in again.”
Note that all of these
children’s surnames are still represented by existing historic farms around
Port Oneida. |
