Ferndale Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

onecrazycanadian: Hi,

The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since our last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. If the owner does happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.

Thanks

Original school was erected in 1894 for the sum of $385. In 1895 the first teacher was Miss Beatrice Reid of ON was paid $40 /mos. The school term the first few years was only from April until Aug. In 1900, 34 children attended school. In 1922 Jack Crellin built the brick school for $4223. It seemed the school was always struggling financially so on June 24, 1959 a meeting was held and a decision was made to close the school doors.

Shirley Campbell was the last teacher with 15 pupils. Ferndale was always a very sociable community.
