Taylor No. 1 school house was built of logs about the year 1860, by a section which consisted of good honest people. The pupils are scattered over all parts of the globe today. The first teacher was Mr. Wright; who owned a farm across from the Tom Douglas farm. He was an Irishman. He worked his-farm and also taught for ten years in the State of Massachusetts. The children were taught to read the Bible and sing hymns, the teacher leading in prayer. At that time there was family worship in almost every home in the commun- ity. About twenty-five years after the old log school was sold to Mr. John 'Giff en for a dwelling house, part for a stable. A frame building was erected which was later bricked over. A well was dug on the road near Albert Dug- tow's gate. A few years later they drilled for a well on the school grounds.. The section was blessed by having men who could teach music. The late Mr. Jas. Ritchie led the singing. There was a good Sunday School and lib- rary for a number of years. This school was also used for Divine woe- ship at one time. Mr. Coutts taught singing and had a class of over 60 pupils. There was little sickness and all were a very healthy class of people. With the teaching the children receiv- ed in the schooland the music, there were many clever boys and girls ,who later became .farmers, ministers of the Gospel, lawyers and doctors. Every girl was well equipped to take het1 place in an honorable position in life. Some of the earily pupils still living in this community are: Mr. and Mrs. Levi Galbraith; Mrs. Geo. Wylie, Wroxeter, Mrs. Sandy McKercher, Mrs. Chas. Kitchen, Mr. Thos, Kit- chen, Mr. john Gamble, Mrs. Myrtle Anger, Dr. Robt, Stewart, Wingham, and Fred C.
