At first the pupils, few in number, were sent to the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb in Hartford. Conn. Distance, weather, and the youth of the pupils made that unsatisfactory. On May 15, 1846, with four pupils in a log cabin, with O. P. Fannin, teacher, this school began as a part of the Hearn Manual School at Cave Spring, Georgia. This school grew rapidly and, in 1847, a brick building was erected and dedicated. Later, other additions were made. The school was closed during the War Between the States and used as a hospital by both Confederate and Union forces. It resumed operations in February 1867 and is still supported by the State of Georgia. In 1955, this school had 82 teachers and employees and an income of more than $500,000.

Wasn't the history that Linda shared so interesting? It is wonderful that she is sharing this as many of us would not have access to the material. It would be wonderful to have people share any personal information they may have regarding this institution -- those who went to school there, who taught or worked there. .First Annual Report of the Commissioners for the Georgia Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, Cave Spring July 1 1850 .... all indigent deaf mutes who were resident within the limits of the State, and between the ages of ten and thirty, could enjoy the privilege of remaining at the American Asylum for the term of four years.

Floyd County GaArchives History - Schools .....First Annual Report of the Commissioners for the Georgia Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, Cave Spring July 1 1850 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Linda Avery txsvalley@aol.com January 29, 2004, 10:23 pm TO HIS EXCELLENCY, GEORGE W. TOWNS. The "Commissioners for the Georgia Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb," beg leave to present the subjoined Report of the operations of the Institution under their control, during the past year, commencing July 1st, 1849: and as this is the first Report which has gone out to the public, they would also beg leave to Report, in the same connection, a brief account of the labors of those who were engaged in promoting the interest of the Deaf and Dumb previous to the present year. So long as the year 1834, Mr. Weld, Principal of the American Asylum, at Hartford Conn., visited Georgia for the purpose of awakening an interest in the public mind in favor of the Deaf and Dumb. He brought with him a class of deaf mute pupils, and gave an exhibition of their advancement before the Legislature, which was then in Session. He was so fortunate as to secure an annual appropriation from the State Treasury of $3,000 for the education of the Deaf and Dumb, and also the Blind. This appropriation was afterwards increased to $4,500. According to the law making this appropriation, all indigent deaf mutes who were resident within the limits of the State, and between the ages of ten and thirty, could enjoy the privilege of remaining at the American Asylum for the term of four years. Compared with the number who could of right avail themselves of this benefaction, very few did so. Nor indeed was it contemplated by Mr. Weld that a large number from this State would become pupils under his care. The ultimate end to which he looked was the establishment of an Institution within the limits of the State, or at some southern point, where the climate was better adapted to the constitution of southern pupils. The law making the above provision also empowered the Executive of the State to appoint some suitable person who should collect the State beneficiaries and accompany them to Hartford, Conn. This office was in succession filled by Rev. E. E. St.Clair, Rev. G. Hillier, and Rev. Jessee H. Campbell. The deaf mutes of this State are indebted much to the energy and efficient action of the last named gentleman, for his agency in procuring the location and endowment of an institution for their instruction. With the heart of a philathropist and Christin, he was prompted to action in endeavors to ameliorate the condition of those who could not avail themselves of the provision of the law because of the distance to the American Asylum. As a preparatory step, he procured an amendment to the original statute, whereby Beneficiares could be educated within the State, as well as at the American Asylum. After the passage of this amendment he opened a correspondence with the Trustees of several institutions of learning; and among them was the Board of Trustees of the Hearn School This school is located near the village of Cave Spring, Floyd County. An arrangement was effected between Mr. Campbell and the Board of Trustees of this School, to the effect that a department should be opened for the reception of deaf mute pupils. The preliminary arrangements having been completed, Mr. O. P. Fannin, the Associate Teacher in the Hearn School, was deputized to bring the State Beneficiaries from the American Asylum, and enter them as pupils in the deaf mute department of the Hearn School. He returned from the American Asylum with four pupils. The department was placed under his immediate supervision, and was opened on the 15th of May, 1846. This period, to which the friends of the Deaf and Dumb can now look with pleasing recollection, was fraught with a degree of interest far beyond that which was conjectured at the time. The novelty of the enterprise, and the entire want of a knowledge of the mute character on the part of all concerned, seemed to connect the undertaking with the idea of a speedy abandonment. Not so, however, has the result proven. With devout thankfulness and humility would we acknowledge the guidance of an overruling Providence in this hour of need. The pupils were boarded at private houses; and that too, at a distance from the rooms provided for their school exercises. The success of the efforts at instruction for this year and a half which succeeded the opening of the Department, was not such as we could have desired; but considering the many disadvantages under which the Department labored, it was such as would commend itself to the favorable judgment of every friend of the deaf and dumb. In the meantime the services of Mr. J. B. Edwards, as an Assistant Teacher, were secured. Mr. Edwards is quite an intelligent deaf mute, formerly a Beneficiary of the State, and educated at the American Asylum. The number of pupils had also increased from four to near or quite a dozen. Thus the Department stood at the close of the year 1847. Additional Comments: Printed by Benjamin F. Griffin. 1850. Macon. Reprinted 1898. Georgia School for the Deaf.

The latest round of virii is out and about. It comes as a 30K file - with a .scr, .exe, .pif, .bat - etc. extension. Subject lines are Hi, Returned mail to user, test, etc. Sender may appear to be someone you know, but probably is not. These newer virus spoof the address of the sender. If it shows a Rootsweb list name in the subject line, it did not come from the list, for Rootsweb doesn't allow attachments. Please for the safety of your PC, make sure your virii definitions are up to date on your virus program - and/or prescreen you mail, if you can. You may get nasty notes from folks saying you sent them the virus - but since this one spoofs the sender - point them to a site like Norton where they can read about it. And once again..... because it always causes a lot of messages, this will be the only virus warning to be posted to the list. Wyndell Taylor List Manager

Carolyn, Just as Doris Robbins said, I too always dreamed of retiring to Cave Spring. Being from a big city like Detroit, It seems like heaven down there to me. Both my mother and father were born and raised there also. Here is some of the info that I have been able to gather on Cave Spring. Cave Spring is located 18 miles southof Rome, GA and 8 miles east of the Alabama border in the Northwestern area of Georgia. It is in Floyd County. Cave Springs foundations are the educational and religious institutions and rural values that shaped the town and remain the heart of its culture and economy. Cave Spring was settled in 1829. It is a village in beautiful Vann's Valley. The ealiest settlers came from middle GA, the Carolinas and Virginia and were English, Scottish, and Irish ancestry. Cave Spring's original claim to fame is its namesake mineral sprin g,flowing from a cave in Rolater Park, which covers 29 acres of natural landscape inside the village. Little Cedar Creek flows through the park and village. The park has covered pavilions and picnic tables under beautiful trees. The large limestone cave is a popular attraction. It is open to the public during the summer and boasts a cool temperature of 56 degrees. The mineral spring has a capacity of about 4 million gallons a day of the purest water in Georgia, which is now being bottled and sold in stores. There is a 1.5 acre swimming pool, the second largest in Georgia, which is fed by spring waters. The Hearn Academy Inn is also on park grounds. Begun in 1839 as a dormitory for the Hearn Manual Labor School, it has been restored by the Cave Spring Historical Society, which offers tours of the building during Country Festival Week. Bed and Breakfast are available here, as well as catered parties and weddings by reservation. Also in Cave Spring is the Georgia School for the Deaf. Its first students were admitted in 1846. During the second weekend in June, the Annual Festival and Road Race includes tours of Hearn Academy and an arts festival. Cave Spring is a haven for those who enjoy searching antique shops; there are plenty of places to browse. Cave Spring has an amazing 90 buildings and sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At least 100 gallons of water is taken out of the spring by people each day. The spring and surrounding area, a total of 29 acres was a gift to the city in 1931 by Joseph B. Rolater. Rolater was born in 1861 in Alabama and bought the spring after becoming a wealthy physician. He insisted that the land never be sold. In 1916 the city began pumping water to citizens homes by installing pipes in the spring at the back of the cave. But area residents still flock to the spring to get clean, free, non-chlorinated water. Chubbtown, located in Cave Spring, was one of the few communities of free blacks before the Civil War in Georgia. Cave Spring has five churches listed on record. Cave Spring has had a 9 million dollar lottery winner back in 1998. The highest temperature recorded is 104 degrees on July 8, 1977, July 23, 24, 25, & 28, 1952, and August 21 & 22, 1983. The lowest temperature recorded is minus 9 degrees on January 21, 1985. There is only one traffic light in Cave Spring. The population of Cave Spring in 1990 was 950. The land area of Cave Spring is 2.6 sq. miles.

Carolyn, My Ancestors were from Cave Spring. In fact I still have many family members living there. I have a lot of info on Cave Spring but I have to dig it out. I'm at work right now but I'll find someof it when I get home. My family lines are the Neal's, King's, Shepherd's, Sheppard's, Sam's, Shropshire's, Hughes, and Womack's just to name a few. We are African-American. I live in Detroit but visit often. I was just there in April. I'll be in touch.
