Nancy, page 643 Geographical Gazetteer of Jefferson County NY 1684-1890 Printed July 1890 "The first school in town was taught in the summer of 1803, in Anson Moody's barn, by Miss Nobles. A number of log school-houses were erected the next year which were used until they gave place to a better class of buildings. In 1840, the citizens of Rodman, at a cost of $1200 which was raised by subscriptions, built a seminary, which was given the name of Rodman Union Seminary. After a number of years of prosperity, the seminary ran into decline and was finally discontinued, the building being occupied by public school for a time, when the property finally reverted to the heirs of Nathan Strong" I find it of interest to have your ancestors and mine in the same article.
