Bearwallow Ridge School and Its Historic Bearwallow Period
A frame home in Bedford Township Meigs County preserves the Bearwallow School legacy dating to 1840. The 1938 closure ended the four Bearwallow schools and a 1899 reunion featured stalwarts like 90 year old Robert Rankin. A 1940 Ohio University thesis documents the school’s Rudimentary instruction and notable teachers.
