In 1863 the first log school
house was built on Lot 7,16th
concession. About 10 years
later it was replaced on Lot
7,17th concession by a frame
building.
In 1901, the section was
divided ( part of it with the
Union school at Corbett. In
order to have the school
more centrally located in the
section it was decided to
move it farther north.
One-half acre of land was
bought from William Holt on
Lot 10, 17th concession, for
$100.00
During the summer of
1901, the old building was
moved to the present site and
was used in the erecting of a
new and substantial brick
building, with a frame wood
shed at the south side.
A supply of good drinking
water was a problem for
many years until a new well
was dug in 1928.

Pastor Gordon Hewlett, flev.
Paul Webb and missionary
teacher Audrey Finkbeiner.

1879 until 1966, it is in
teresting to note that in 188£,
teacher Miss Maggie
McKay’s salary was $292.50
a year.

pupils, 1901-55 pupils and
1911-25 pupils.
Stanley Haist of Dashwood
was the last teacher at
Shipka school from 1963-66.
The Shipka school is now
known as Shipka Community
centre, with counter space,
cupboards, fridge and stove
and is used for family
gatherings, picnics,
reunions, bridal showers and
card parties.

The 'button lady'
popular in Dashwood
By MRS. IRVIN RADER
Mrs. Verda Moulton,
Dashwood’s famous “Button
Lady” passed away in St.
Joseph’s hospital, London, ,
January 12.
No more will she attend
auction sales looking for
buttons and antiques. Her
home was the home of
thousands of buttons many of
which she had mounted and
hung. She could tell the
origin and content of a
button.
Once when the Dashwood
Women’s Institute held their
meeting in her home to see
all her buttons and lovely
antiques, instead of giving
her a gift, members gave
buttons which made her very
happy. She was also a
member of the Huron County
Historical Society.
Due to stormy weather,
many of her relatives were
unable to attend her funeral
last Sunday,
