Union School that was located at the east end of Johnston St, built in
1850 and was attended by virtually everybody of that period in town and the
surrounding area. The bricks from it were used to build the house that
presently may be seen there, and the house immediately south of that brick
house is original. Joseph Midlam died after striking a pile of bricks when he fell from the roof of that school in 1853. He was doing repairs and slipped; he is buried in Old Mission, as are his wife and a son |
Joseph and Martha Freeborn Midlam, he, the one who fell from Union School,
and she his wife who lived in till 1892. Joseph was born 1788 in PA, and
Martha in 1798 in VT. They are G-G-Gparents of mine. |
