Bradford County PA Chemung County NY Tioga County PA Tri-Counties Genealogy & History by Joyce M. Tice School Memorabilia of the Tri-Counties Pierce School, Armenia Township 1920s

See Map of the District below which I scanned from the 1869  Bradford County Atlas - Joyce M. Tice    My grandfather, John Andrew Morrow (Andy), was the Superintendent of Schools in Bradford County for many years.  Under his staff's direction, many of the old one-room school houses were closed as the county consolidated into larger high schools.   I have inherited from him, about 2 dozen negatives of pictures of those schools. Bill Benson 1920 Pierce School Souvenir Booklet lists it as in Troy Township. Fay Morgan tracked fown the other school and there were indeed two Pierce Schools, One in Armenia and one in Troy.

The Outhouses or Privies at Pierce School. In the 1889 Report of  the Pennsylvania Superintendent of Public Instruction, of which I  have a copy, one of the goals of the Bradford County Superintendent  of Schools was to have separate outhouses for boys and girls on  separate areas of the school properties. It appears that Pierce met  that goal by about 50%.
