ROSSVILLE – It's been nearly 100 years since Ross Township dedicated its new red brick building at 103 W. Attica St.
On the celebratory day in October 1908, a large parade was held before the speeches began, according to the hometown newspaper. A string of hayracks came to town, some decorated and all bearing children from the area schools within traveling distance. Students came from Alvin, Squankum, Pleasant View, Pleasant Hill, College Hill, Summer, Dale, Centennial, Lee, Mann's Chapel and Bethel schools – none are still in operation, and the buildings of most don't even exist today.
