Alfred Watkins school Attendance Award

Fred J. Walls in front of Scotch school. In his autobiography, Winford R. Hamlin remembers attending Scotch school while living on Apple Island – That spring I was six years old so I had to start school. My sister was two years older than I was. We had to cross the lake, then walk a mile to the Old Scotch school. In the winter my mother would take us with the one horse sleigh. In the Spring, Summer and Fall she would take us across the lake by boat and we would have the mile to walk to school.
