Clearview School was located in Washington Township on the northwest corner of South Duff and Airport Road. Billy Sunday, later a well-known evangelist, once attended this school when he was living with his Cory grandparents nearby. In this photo, Louis Eness demonstrates a Billy Sunday preaching pose.

School
(c. 1920.)
Local residents hoped replacing the one-room school with this modern brick building in 1925 would avoid its being included in a consolidation. - Recollections of Clearview School by Margaret Mae Gross - (Photo courtesy of Margaret Mae Gross)
POEM FOR CLEARVIEW SCHOOL PARENTS GATHERING
By C.J. Dutch Gross (1897-1964) |
| We’ll now read a verse
Consistently terse Concerning our neighbors and friends. Some fun we will poke At all the men-folk And hope it will give you the bends. Should anyone cry
There’s a Larson called Roy
Now take Warren Zenor
There’s Eugene Kinyon
Charlie Van Patter
Mr. Guy Dodds
They say Floyd Kelley
Bob McColly, that’s true
Then there’s Mr. Cadman
