Dedication of the Snodgrass One-room Schoolhouse Museum
Dedication ceremonies for the one-room school museum
took place on October 20, 1962, and were attended by a number of former
pupils and teachers at the Snodgrass School. Present at the dedication
was Norman F. Kendall, once a student and later a teacher at the school,
who recalled that the average salary in his early teaching days was about
$30.00 a year; and John Snodgrass, who first taught at the Snodgrass School
in 1914 and who pointed out a spot on the front of the building where a startled
mule once kicked in the building's siding during a community gathering. (From
