    1. Hounsfield School No.5

    3. Mark: That school was known as the Camps Mills Schoolhouse. In the 50's there was a family of Alcombracks who lived next door going to Bagg's Corners. Wesley Alcombrack, whose mother was a Resseguie, is still alive and probably can tell you where you can get information -- I believe he attended the school before it closed: Wesley Alcombrack Suphur Springs Road Watertown, N. Y. 13601 Phone: 315-788-2777 His wife's name is Alice -- she was a Branche. Very alert person. Hope you find out what happened to that old pump organ which was stored in the back room during the late 40's and early 50's -- they used to have Pedro parties in that schoolhouse when I was young and we kids used to go back there and play it while our parents were playing cards. Spent many of fun evening playing on the swings there, too. Might also check with Edward Cobb, Jr. at Camps Mills Rd., Watertown, N. Y. 13601 -- 315-788-1699 -- he or his father (not sure?) was the Town Supervisor for Hounsfield -- the Cobbs lived the first farm down from the Schoolhouse and undoubtedly his Dad went to school there. Have a couple more people in mind who might be able to help you -- the Mains and Natalie Parker (both Resseguies.) Good luck on this project -- you'll do your usual great job, I'm sure. Shirley
