NEW RYE SCHOOL

SCHOLARS OF 1858

Names of the Scholars of our School

Some may wish to know the names of those who attend this Institute. So, in rhime I'll try to tell the same. Though of Poets bright wit I am destitute of Andrews there is one Ella; Browns six George E., Harriet and Laura, Sarah and John C. with Charles Albert we think these enough. Though it leaves room for Ancel whose surname is Clough. Elva Cass, Wyman and Albert. Anna Chapman. A Charles, Claraett, who is twelve years old they say. And then these are Does, James Amos and Walter, with Mary Abby Fife, who we think never will falter.
Sarah Dolbeer and Alonso who we may well call the squire, next Haynes Mary Jane and grave Jeremiah; then Lewis Healey and Thomas A. Lear with Flora and Nancy who seldom are here, then Calvin; and Susan A. Straw and James S, next comes the Sanders, Mary Anna the less, next Woodman John P., and Mary E. Wells, while Philbricks the number to 34 swells.

[If Clara Etta Chapman, born 1846 is age 12, that would put this school class about the year 1858. The families are New Rye, so that is most likely the New Rye School District No. 9]
