  • It is not known exactly when Elias Briggs took over the ferry enterprise, but he did receive an official license to operate in 1854 (Clarke 1938:25).
  • In 1854, Springfield School District No. 19 was formed, and the first teacher, Agnes Stewart, was appointed. A small schoolhouse was built near the corner of South Seventh and B Streets, and although considered to be a “crude building,” the school served the community until the 1880s (Graham 1978a).
