Cooksey School

 This is a sturdily constructed building made of fieldstone and is situated on East Oaktree Road.  Long abandoned, it was named for a family who lived nearby and who early on had contributed to the history of the county.  One of its early members had been a Revolutionary War veteran.  The Study family attended this school, as did several members of the KREMP family.  One of the latter, the late Walter KREMP, became a teacher and taught in various county schools over a period of a couple of decades.  One of the teachers was Theo. DICKERSON, a member of the pioneer HANNA family and a well-known collector of Indian artifacts.  He was also a well-known scientist specializing in the field of geology.
