Cedar Mill School, 1884

Title

Cedar Mill School, 1884

Description

Handmade quilt square which depicts local school as part of the 15-panel Heritage Quilt of Cedar Mill. As described in an accompanying pamphlet: BLOCK 1 THE FIRST CEDAR MILL SCHOOL by Mildred Kidby. The first school was located across Cornell Road from the present school site on land donated by Samuel Walters, the first pioneer (1847) in the upper Cornell area. The building was built in 1884 by the local residents who donated theft labor and money. It served eight grades and had double desks, a large wood stove, and a cloak room. It was replaced in 1926. Mildred chose this subject because she was Secretary at the newest Cedar Mill School for many years.
