THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE

An interesting meeting took place the Saturday before last in the old log cabin in Waterloo Park.

This house was, of course, the first schoolhouse in this area and stood originally on the school-house square at the corner of King and Church Streets in Waterloo. It was built in 1820 and served its purpose until 1842, when it was torn down and a 1-storey stone house was constructed on the site. The dismantled log house was erected again in Greenbush and served as a residence for a long time for the coloured man, Mr. Carroll and his family. In the course of this year, the Waterloo Park Commissioners purchased the house, moved it to their park and furnished it again as it was when it was a school-house.

At this gathering, in addition to many other ladies and gentlemen, the following (male and female) former pupils attended, took their places on the benches, and were called to order by the 82-year-old teacher, Benjamin Burkholder, who held the scepter, or rather, the switch, from 1831 to 1842 in the old log-house: Joel Guth, 80 years old; Abraham Scherk, Blair, 79; Jakob Bricker, Waterloo, 77; Sarah Burkholder, nee Erb, Bridgeport, 75; Amos Weber, Berlin, 73; John C, Bricker, Hawksville, 71; Maria Erb, nee Quickfall, Norwich 69; David B. Eby, Waterloo, 69; Wendel Baumann, Woolwich, 68; Henry Stauffer, Erbsville, 67; Simon Beatty, Elmira, 67; Jakob Ratz, New Hamburg, 67; Israel Baumann, Berlin, 65; George Elbert, Moorefield, 63; George H. Baumann, Elmira, 63; John Devitt, Waterloo, 62; Richard Quickfall, Bridgeport, 62; Isaak Hoffmann, Waterloo, 61; Robert Barkwell, Peel, 60; Diana McMahon, nee Dekay, Berlin, 60; Thomas Quickfall, Floradale, 60; Benjamin Devitt, Waterloo, 60; Isaak Devitt, Floradale, 58; John Longmann, Peel, 57. In addition, to these, the teacher read the names of 25 pupils from the roll; they were, however, absent.

Mr. Burkholder gave an interesting talk about the history of the old school-house, and after him, Rev. J.A. MacLachlan, Rev. J. McNair, Mr. J.E. Baumann, M.P., and Mr. Jakob Ratz spoke about the old days which brought many things out of the past to mind again. School was, as a rule, only in session in winter and the costs were borne by the parents of the children. There were few subjects taught, namely: Reading, Writing and Sums. The children heard little about language, and geography; no child had more than 2 or 3 books. The predominant language was German. The pupils learned to read and write English, but didn't understand a word of it. Among the teachers in the old school-house from 1820-1842, with the exception of Mr. Burkholder, were the following whose names are still recognized: Jephtha DeKay, Joseph Guth, John Herringer, Peter Otto, John Dobbin, Elias Eby, Robert Barber, & Joseph Eby.

After those present, on hearing the various speeches felt themselves transported back to the past, the school was closed at four o'clock and the pupils were gathered together in front of the school and photographed as a group. On their return into the school, they found it had been transformed into a dining room with heavily-laden tables, which the old-timers thoroughly enjoyed. After everyone had chatted cordially for a while longer, the gathering broke up. The company will not meet again in complete numbers, nor in such a way.

GEORGE LICHTY.

Go to the old Lichty homestead on a pleasant day and you will invariably find this veteran of pioneer days moving about outside. He is now in the seventy-ninth year of his age and is yet physically strong, but has also retired from active farm work. He is of Swiss extraction, his grandparents having emigrated from Switzerland to Pennsylvania some time prior to 1760 He was the first of a family of ten children, first seeing the light on May 10, 1819. He has always worked on the farm and it is likely that he will end his days on the farm where he has labored so many years. He was married in 1811 and is the father of five children. His son in-law, Henry M. Martin, who was married to the daughter Nancy, lives in an adjoining portion of the old homestead and has charge of the farm. The subject of this sketch came to this section from Pennsylvania with his parents in 1822, they being among the first families to settle here. The present farm contains 182 acres and is in a fine state of cultivation. Mr. Martin the son-in-law, is a son of the late Henry Martin, who was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, February 16, 1794, and died June 8, 1853. Selina, the daughter of the former, is married to Ephraim Betzner, who also lives at the old homestead, all live in harmony and peace together, each one doing his or her share towards making the work on a large farm an easy task, a feature not always the case where three families are domiciled beneath one roof. The old gentleman says he has used tobacco since he was twenty-one years of age, but has been temperate so far as alcobolic stimulants are concerned. Adjoining the Lichty estate is the fine farm of Solomon Koch.
