    8. [S1417] Champion - Historical web site, (http://lthorn13619.com/townofchampion/townofchampion.html : 2006), accessed Jun 13, 2016), Line School, Champion District 11 (Reliability: 3).
      Champion School District No. 11, a joint district in the towns of Champion and Denmark, encompasses what is commonly known as the "Pleasant Lake" section. Lake Creek, outlet to the lake, bisects the district. About midway through the district, the creek cascades gently into a little valley. The hills of Champion and Demark ring the valley, watching over the little schoolhouse at the intersection of roads. Several houses keep each other company in a small cluster around the school site. Straight as a string, the town line passes through, forming one boundary of the school lot; hence the name "Line School".

      When the town of Champion was divided into school districts in 1813, there was no school site below Pleasant Lake. Finally more settlers arrived and on May 16, 1820, joint District No 11 was created. The Champion commissioner's records for 1820 report that there were 36 children of school age (5-15) and that the new district received $15.99 in state aid. On April 25, 1825, most of the territory of District 11 in the town of Denmark was taken away and incorporated into a new district, with its schoolhouse located on one of the corners near the present farm of George Pridell. A note in the clerk's minutes of District 11 informs us that a stone schoolhouse was erected in 1826 on the present site.

      At a special meeting on Feb. 11, 1850, it was decided that those who sent children to summer school should board the teacher throughout the term. A budget was made out with $40 allotted for the teacher's wages; $3.12 for wood; 75 cents for a pail and cup; 50 cents for brooms. A district library was established in 1857 with 157 books. In 1855 the district built a backhouse for $16.

      The school on George Pridell's corners was closed and the district known as Denmark No. 12, was dissolved Nov. 27, 1857. District 11 then got back more of its territory in the town of Denmark. The District 11 school site was appropriately located on a corner of land belonged to the Campbell homestead. The deed of the farm reserved one-quarter acre of land for a school site. In 1865, the schoolhouse was valued at $300, the lot at $25. Teachers were paid $8 per week for the winter term and $5 for the summer term.

      Sometime about 1870, a new school was erected, but why it was needed is not clear; there are indications that there was a fire. On March 23, it was voted to tear down and build a new one on the same foundation The new school was to be a one-room structure with a woodhouse. It was voted to raise $800 and use "as much of the sum as necessary."

      A motion was passed in 1875 allowing the use of the schoolhouse for meetings, but not for lectures. A vestibule was added in 1876 for a cost of $40. This entrance was parallel with the road, contrary to the usual practice of having the entrance to a school face the road. It cost $231.41 to run the school in 1885. Fred Parks was hired for $45 to paper and paint the schoolhouse. Inside toilets were installed in the Line school in 1919, against vigorous opposition. Electric lights were installed in 1930. A motion to transport high school students lost in 1932 but four years later the same motion passed. The next year it was voted to also transport seventh and eighth graders to village schools.

      On July 1, 1954, District 11 passed from existence in its 134th year. The voters approved the sale of the schoolhouse before the district was discontinued. On Nov. 24, 1956 the Line School was sold at auction to Perley Baxter, who converted it into a dwelling. Mr. Baxter dug a well, something that the school had never had, having obtained its water until the last from neighbors' well.

      Comments: Paul,
      It is with great interest that I read the Fitzpatrick part of your family tree. Initially I thought there was no connection when I saw that John was married to a Mary Wood, as the John I have was married to a Mary Quilty. But then I realised what happen. Quilty is an Anglicization of the Irish word coillte meaning woods or forest , and I would think Mary Americanised her surname to Wood when she came to the US.
      Anyway, I would like to add a few generations to your mother?s side of the tree. So here are the ancestors of John and Mary. (All the place names below are in South Kilkenny in the RC parish of Mooncoin)
      John Fitzpatrick was baptised 27th Oct 1817 in Mooncoin (so same day as he was born) ? Godparents were Thomas Keefe and Mary Dunphy.
      His mother Elizabeth Walsh from Moonveen was baptised 11th Apr 1788 - Godparents Richard Keefe and Catherine Dedy ? so ties with your Battie Welsh (assume it was Bettie)
      Her parent ; Richard Walsh Born 1751 according to the 1821 census and Margaret Dedy who died 9th Jan 1795 age 41 (so born 1754) ? transcript from headstone in Rathkieran graveyard.
      Richard?s father was Walter Walsh who died 29th Dec 1791 age 74(Born 1717) - Rathkieran
      John Fitzpatrick?s father was John born 1784(1821 census) and died 27th Aug 1825 age 38(Born 1787) - Carrigeen graveyard
      I believe he was baptised in 1783 in St Patricks church in Waterford to Michael Fitzpatrick and mother Ellen (but I need to go look up that record)
      Here is the 1821 census extract for House No. 5 in Moonveen (Civil parish Portnascully)
      Richard Walsh 70, 21 acres,; (Fadhu) ; Elizabeth Fitzpatrick 32, Daughter; John Fitzpatrick , 37, Son-in-law ; Richard, 13; Nicholas, 10 ?; Margaret , 8; Ellen,6 ; John, 4(your guy!) ; Mary ? ; Grandchildren; Walter Walsh, 8 Grandson.
      Walter was the son of Elizabeth?s brother Michael (baptised 29th Sep 1786)

      As for Mary Quilty ? She was born in the townland of Nicholastown and baptised 11th May 1822 ? Godparents James McDonald and Kitty Hoynes. Her father was Michael Quilty born 1796( 1821 census ) in Nicholastown. He died 1st Jun 1846 age 50(1796) and in buried in Mooncoin Old Churchyard. Her mother was Mary Walsh born 1796(1821) or 1799(1851 census) ? she was baptised 16th Jul 1792 in Glengrant - next townland to Moonveen (a few 100 yds apart). She died 1st Apr 1850 age 60(1790) and is buried with her husband in Mooncoin Old Churchyard. Michael and Mary married 21st Feb 1819.
      When Michael died in 1846, Mary must have moved the family back to Glengrant as they show up there with Mary?s bachelor brother John in the 1851 census
      No. 3 Glengrant John WALSH, 70, farmer, unm., Mary QUILTY 50 sister, m. 1822, Robin Quilty 24 nephew, Ellen Quilty 22 niece. Absent: Mary Quilty niece, in America. Dead: Mary Walsh 51
      sister, d. 1850.
      As you can see Mary has by this time gone to America which ties in nicely with her arriving when she was 29 ? so sometime around 1850.
      The other fact in support of this connection is that Mary and John Fitz married 10th Oct 1848 and had one child in Ireland ? Anastasia born in 1849, who must have died young.

      Michael Quilty?s parents were Edmund Quilty born 1761(1821 census) in Nicholastown and Anastasia Quinn B 1765 (townland not named on marriage record from 09th Feb 1792)
      Mary Walsh of Glengrant?s parents were Robert Walsh of Glengrant who died 2nd Sep 1812 age 60 (Born 1752) and Eleanor Walsh of Licketstown, born 1753(1821 census) and died 15th Feb 1834 age 78(1756) ? Robert?s father was Edmund Walsh and Eleanor?s father was John Walsh. Both Robert and Mary are buried in Carrigeen.

      Mary Quilty(Wood) had a number of brothers and sisters who reminded in Ireland and her sister?s Ellen?s great grandchildren (and their children and grandchildren ) still live in Glengrant today ? so you all have plenty of 4th and 5th cousins. See Peter O?Keefe in 1911 census (her nephew)
      http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kilkenny/Portnascully/Glengrant/534919/
      Also her brother Edmund?s descendants were still in Nicholastown in 1911 (much check if they still are!) - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kilkenny/Tubbriel/Nicholastown/564351/

      Also John Fitzpatrick had a brother Michael (Bap 27th Jul 1810) who had multiple descendants in Moonveen right up to the 1950?s - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kilkenny/Portnascully/Moonveen/534974/
      Many of his Fitzpatrick great grandchildren went to various points in the US in the early 1900?s (Cleveland(OH), Worcester( MA) Davison Co., South Dakota, , PA, NY etc. So you also have multiple US cousins.

      Anyway, how am I connected? First I?m from Moonveen and my grandmother was from Glengrant (an O?Keefe). Her great grandmother was a Johanna Walsh also from Glengrant whose marriage witness in 1789 was the above Robert Walsh (Mary Quilty?s grandfather), so I suspect that he was an uncle or brother ? so maybe we are 6th or 7th cousins!
      BTW all the Walsh?s above are not related (too closely anyway!). 15% of the population according to the church register in Mooncoin are Walshs.

      Anyway, have load more data on your Irish and US cousins, if you want it.

      Regards... Bernard
