Early History of the White School District
In a recent letter from Mrs. Mary Waddel Lloyd, who is now living at Durand, Wisconsin, she tells of some recollections of her early days in the White School. Mrs. Lloyd is the daughter of James Waddell, who entered the Richardson Cave about 1845. That story has been recorded in a previous paragraph. Mrs. Lloyd was 98 years old on July 30, and her daughter, Mrs. Home, writes that her mother is in excellent health, but her sight is not as good as in earlier days. She knits afghans and when the weather is nice, she walks around the block near her home. Mrs. Lloyds story follows:
Before the school was built Miss Mary Etta White taught three or four pupils in a room of her brother, Addison White's, home. Two of them were Belle Waddell and Warren White. Later at the school house (built in 1850) the following were the teachers, Miss Lucinda Bartlett, Miss Atwood, Miss Jaynes, Miss Dorothy Charlton. They taught a term of five summer months, receiving $1.25 a month and board one week for each pupil at the various homes.
At one time there was a fight among the school board members, some demanding the hiring of a man teacher and the others wanting to keep Miss Atwood. The discussion lasted so long that Miss Atwood accepted another school. The teacher they hired after that had no discipline and the big boys would snowball her and thus kept her from returning to the classes. Grandfather Waddell was on the school board at the time so we heard it all talked over at home.
Miss Elizabeth Parks was my favorite teacher. In 1905, Mrs. Tom Stewart (Jessie Rutherford) and I spent an afternoon with her in Verona. She was married and had two grown sons. (Editor's Note: She married John Rowell) Other teachers as I recall were Abigail Ingles by, a cousin of Miss Parks, Miss Augusta Van Buren, Miss Roxanna Sayles, Charlie Smith and Dave Newman.
The pupils which I remember are Bill, Anna and Ellen Brown, Warren, Charlie, Alzina, Emma and Martha White, Jessie and Jane Rutherford, Jim Leslie, Charlie and "Looney" Wheelie; Mary, Hannah, George, John, Jeremiah, Melvina and Melvin Proud; Belle, Mary, Jessie Waddell; Jessie and Isabelle (twins) Dorothy and Maggie Compbell, Moses Hedeman, Jessie Lindsay, Walter Waddell, Jr., John Bowen, Harriet Bowen, Henry, Charlie and Mary Himsel.

Sen. Morse Invited to Address Verona Observance
VERONA — An invitation to a noted former Verona resident Senator Wayne Morse (R-Ore.), to give the main address is a highlight of preparations for Verona's American Legion picnic and centennial observance Aug. 16 and 17.
Morse, a native of the Verona neighborhood, recently spoke on the senate floor for 9 hours and 59 minutes in a record-setting filibuster against the labor bill. He was born on the Morse farm north of the village and is a great grandson of the pioneer Addison White. He is a University of Wisconsin graduate.
