The Union School Early in 1865 the fine Union
school building on east Main Street was commenced, and pushed toward
completion through that and the following year; but it was not until
1867—68 that it was entirely finished, its total cost being about
$25,000. It is a brick structure, 60x74, three stories in height, and
contains eleven rooms. In 1878 the west side building was erected,
likewise made of brick, containing eight rooms, at a cost of some
$10,000. It is pleasantly located, and is used at present as the
High-school building. History of Mercer County, 1888, page 417 The union school system was established in 1867 by E. C. McClintock, who was chosen principal in that year. The union school building, which still [1909] stands on east Main street, was commenced in 1865 and completed in 1867-68, at a total cost of about $25,000. Twentieth
