Sam Houston elected as president of Texas
“On September 5, 1836, Sam Houston is elected as president of the Republic of Texas, which earned its independence from Mexico in a successful military rebellion. Born in Virginia in 1793, Houston moved with his family to rural Tennessee after his father’s death; as a teenager, he ran away and lived for several years with the Cherokee tribe. Houston served in the War of 1812 and was later appointed by the U.S. government to manage the removal of the Cherokee from Tennessee to a reservation in Arkansas Territory. He practiced law in Nashville and from 1823 to 1827 served as a U.S. congressman before being elected governor of Tennessee in 1827.”

“A brief excerpt from“
“Schools in the Village of Waterville”by Norman R. Cowen, Sangerfield Historian, 1949“Some time between 1787 and 1789, the first school was built in the (Huddle), christened Waterville in the fall of 1808. My source of information states that the first school was across from the Hotel. Other schools later were, The Old Academy on White Street, A school on Madison Street and many other buildings were used for classes.
At a meeting held in conformity to an act of the legislature, Isaac Terry Jr. was chosen moderator, Josiah Bacon, clerk, Ruben Tower and John Williams, trustees. At a second meeting, October 21 1813, with William Osborne as chairman, it was voted to build a school house. The wood to be furnished by levying a tax upon the taxable inhabitants of this district, and that a tax of seventy-five be levied to furnish wood and a stove. November 22, it was voted to look up a “scite” for the new school house. January 7, 1814, it was voted that the “scite” for the new school house be on the southeast part of the (triangle) green or common near the house of Jacob Bunce. That the house be built after a model exhibited at this meeting by Jothan Tower viz: length 51 ft, width 26 ft, with convenient porch, that the school house be built of brick and stone with a cupaloe for a bell.
The year of 1819 was a year of agreements and disagreements. October 8 it was voted to allow all denominations the use of the school house for religious service. October 25 it was voted to allow no denominations to hold meetings. In 1820 it was wisely decided to let the trustees manage the school as they thought proper. In 1821, Amos Osborne was moderator and Aaron Stafford, clerk. April 10, 1835, there was a broadening of opinion which repealed a former vote and give all religious denominations a right to hold meetings in the school house.
Henry Tower, moderator, Elihu Newberry, clerk
In 1849 the use of well water was $3, in 1858 $5, in 1866 $10, the water bill for 1913 was $120.
On May 15, 1871, it was unanimously voted to raise by tax $17,000 to build on the site of the old school a new building after the plan of the new school house on Corn Hill, Utica.”
The Stafford Avenue School Building was built in 1930.
