Which Schools did Bleeke and Krückeberrg Children Attend in 1853

  • Question: In 1853 the children of "Christian F. Bleakey" and "John H. Bleakey" attend different schools than the children of "Charles Krickenbarger" and "Henry Krickenbargor"--but why? According to the 1853 Indiana School Enumeration, the Bleeke children go to school school No. 4 while the children of "Charles Krickenbarger" and "Henry Krickenbargor" go to school No. 5?

    Was school No. 4 simply closer to the Bleekes and school No. 5 closer to the Krückebergs?

  • Question: Which schools were (perhaps still are) school No. 4 and school No. 5?

Hint:

The history of Union township, on p 166, of Snow’s History of Adams County, Indiana, describes the history of the earliest schools.

The numbers may refer to school districts within Union township.
