Fee, founder of Berea College. Fee came to >Maysville around the time of the Civil War and lived in the Newtown area of >the city. He found Maysville not very accepting of his abolitionist views >and he moved to neighboring Lewis County (on Cabin Creek), where he >developed a small community called Feetown, later known as Cottageville. >What I am trying to learn is: during what years did he live in Lewis Co., >did he establish a school at Feetown, and what event(s) precipitated his >departure from Lewis County?
