Caleb Clark in Bowling Green Ohio
The South school house, a log structure, which stood near the intersection of Main street and the Napoleon road, on the north side of the road, within the limits of Bowling Green, was built in 1835 by Adam Phillips, Lee Moore, Henry Shively, Joseph A. Sargent, Joseph Hollington, Sr., David L. Hixon, Thomas R. Tracy and David DeWitt. W. G. Charles is said by some persons to have been the first teacher, and W. R. Peck, or "The Little Doctor ," the last teacher in 1851.
The buiding took the place of the Thurstin cabin, and in it some of the pupils, named as attending the first school in 1834, continued their lessons.
The names of the children and adults, as remembered by William Phillips, are as follows:
"The relator, John Lorenzo and Daniel Thurstin.
Isaac and Margaret Hixon, Peter F. Richards, Samantha Shively, Ambrose, Alfred and Albert Shivelv, Thomas, William, Abigail and Isaac Tracy, Washington, Joseph and John DeWitt, Nancy and Snowden L. Sargent, Amelia Crago, Ann Stauffer, ___Caleb Clark___, Nathan and Albert Moore, Frank- Maginnis, Henrietta and Phoebe Moore, Richard, Joseph, Ambrose and William Hollington, Mars Nearing and John, Fred, and Josephine Hartman." William Bailey, a visitor from New York, was among the first, if not the first, to preside over that school.
Master Simonds, from Cleveland, followed, then Morris Brown, and, next, Isaac VanTassel
(2). Miss Patty Burdick was an early teacher, and in 1841 Mrs. Richard presided over the institution.
