The Original Mt. Canaan Elementary School

Mrs. Grace Briggs Walker

The land for the school, church, and cemetery was donated by Robert "Free Bob" Vernon. Arcola/Roseland. Demolition of the old school building took place not to long ago. Former students and descendants of Robert "Free Bob" Vernon often recall the good old days at the school.  Mrs. Grace Briggs Walker is one of Free Bob descendants that recall those days.  The rich collection of photographs hold many stories of those days for her.
