Another Mystery:
1876 School Report

By Jack

In 1876 the Warren County Superintendent sent a letter to the trustees of The Free Union Schoolhouse to ask if, as America was celebrating 100 years of freedom, they could send him a report of education in the area for the last century.

A couple of years ago a draft centennial report showed up in a drawer in the Petersen's farmhouse. We found the 1876 NJ school report in the NJ State archives, and Warren County was the only one missing, so we assume that a pamphlet was published. Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate it. We will keep looking for it.
