========================
Additional Information from John Bower, about the Milton Schools around Paradise Road - 
The other schools were the Follmer School, next to the Follmer Lutheran Church, the Ireland School on Schoolhouse Rd, off Broadway, behind Dental Care Assoc. Prior to the construction of Rt 80, they were on the same road, which was the main road to Limestoneville and Washingtonville in the 1800s, prior to the construction of Broadway /Rte 254. The 5th school was the Point School at the Upper end of Golf Course Rd. near Fairview Farm Market. Again, prior to Rt 80, this was on the same road as the Muddy Run and Paradise schools. (these are in addition to Muddy Run & Paradise Schools)

  3. My great grandfather, Sylvester Spring taught school for 41 years in the Muncy and Lairdsville areas. A partial list would be Starr, Turkey Bottom (also known as Wildcat) Clarkstown, Pleasant Grove, Fairview, Reifsnyder, Opp, Salem, Eightsquare, Frenchtown, Clayhole, and Laurel Run. I have been able to find old maps that show all of the locations of these schools. It is pretty cool. From the google satellite photos, it looks like many of the buildings are still there.
