One dollar per month was paid for fuel. Sometimes the scholars would furnish wood for fueland it had to be delivered and piled.
      April 13, 1828, four square rods of land on which the schoolhouse was located was purchased for $5.00 by the trustees to have and to hold and their successors in office so long as agreed to pay one Peppercom on thefirst day of May each and every year thereafter.
