S. S. #17 - Crosshill
The first school classes in Crosshill were held in the home of the teacher, Mr. Sutliff who lived about one mile west of village.
Later a school was erected in Crosshill and the teacher was Mr. Thompson. Students came long distances to attend. In 1859 a two-room stone building was erected on the east side of the village. It is the oldest school still standing in Wellesley Township. It is now used as a private residence.
In 1914, Jessie Harkness was the teacher. She took many informal photos of the school and students.
The school is now used as a private residence.
