Williamsburg District 51 School, Coal Mining, and Mineral Water Fame
The 1868 Williamsburg District 51 formed with a school in the D Fogle home. A frame then stone school replaced it, teaching by A G Turner and Helen Beardsley. The piece recalls harsh discipline, coal mining nearby, and a 1894 mineral water sanitorium tied to town boosters.
