EDITOR ADVERTISER —Seeing an article in your issue

of July 22 in regard to there being but two now

living who went to the Walnut Grove school when

Moses Cartland taught, I wish to correct that state-

ment. I was one who attended that school at that

time. There was also a teacher whose first name

was John, I have forgotten his last name. There

was also a colored man by the name of Oliver, a

cook. My name at that time was Ann Jane Jewell,

daughter of Daniel Jewell, of Newmarket. I think it

was the year 1851. I well remember going to

school there, although I am almost 79 years old

now. I also went to the Packer’s Falls school, and I

think Eben Davis is the only other pupil of that

school at that time now living.

MRS. GEORGE O. DURRELL

read the NEWMARKET ADVERTISER without the aid of
