On page 16 of the 1913-14 RURAL SCHOOL ANNUAL:
"Let us date back twenty-five years when the little white school house (Old Six-teen) stood and was filled to overflowing with pupils from seven and eight toyoung men and women of twenty-one years. Besides the common branches, book-keeping, horticulture, etc., were also taught. There were two terms in theschool year. The winter term was taught by a gentleman older and more experi-enced than the lady who taught the summer term. A few of the old scholars wereThomas, Gertrude and Nellie THORNBURG, Ned and Lois STARR, Andrew and WilliamTHOMAS, and Clara and Mary FREER. All were highly respected young people andare still held in high esteem by all who know them."
The ASHLAND-TIMES GAZETTE newspaper, 7 May 1994, had an article by Betty PLANK,'Historic Ashland County'. This article deals with Old Sixteen School and has apicture of the brick school.

GILBERT MARTIEN
Among the pioneer citizens that have passed away during the past year no oneis worthier to be of cherished memory than the venerable Gilbert Martien whodied on the morning of Thursday, June 6th, 1872.., in the 80th year of his age.He was born in the city of Philadelphia, July 4th, 1798. The date and placeare the most celebrated in American history. While still a child he removedwith his father I s family to Frederick county, Maryland; and thence in 1818 toMt. Pleasant, Westmoreland county, Pa. His marriage occurred in 1831 and a fewyears later, in 1839, he united with the Baptist church. He moved with hisfamily to this state in 1858 settling first in Perry township, this county,where he continued to reside for about seven years, thence moving to a farm twomiles northeast of town. In 1868, on account of advancing age, he concluded tomake his home in town. He was the father of nine children, seven of whom arenow living. Though in poor health for years, he was not confined to his beduntil overtaken by his last sickness.
The deceased was a good man, of careful habits and kind heart, and a trueChristian. His bereaved friends and relatives might well be inconsolable, wereit not for the hope of meeting him in a better world.
The above was found in THE ASHLANDTIMES newspaper, 18 July 1878.
