• Notes

  The first school house that was built in Orkney section was in 1822, and David Rintoul, whom we have mentioned before, was the first teacher. The next school house was built in 1840, and, strange to say, the same teacher first taught in that one. Some years after a brick school was built, the one in use at the present time. A few years ago a post office was opened, and Charles Anderson was the first postmaster, and the present postmaster is Adam P. Thompson. The pioneers of Beverly: a series of sketches" by John A.
