Arkwright

School
No. 6 - ???? (from Dorothy Newton)
The Abbey - ???? (from Kathleen
Newcomer)
This photo was in a box that my grandmother, Lois Houck
McNamara, kept. She was born and raised in "the Abbey" in
Arkwright township. The Abbey was a very small part of
Arkwright near Walnut Creek and Straight Rd. where the Houcks
settled in the 1820's. It derived it's name from the school
house, 'the Abbey', that was built there. All that
was written on the back of the photo was "School at the
Abbey".
