The former Bernice Ferris, taught at this North Clones School for the 1941 Dec - 1942 Jun terms. Bernice is the daughter of Reade W. Ferris (of Jemseg) and Nellie Rankine (from Red Bank). She married in April 1946, to Raymond Osborne, (of Gagetown) and moved there in 1951. After the death of her husband in 1969 she remarried  to a long time friend James R. Piers (of Hampton) in 1987 and resided on the Kingston Pensulia. After his death she moved to Fredericton where she now resides 

(Data from her only daughter Linda (Osborne) Scott, who lived in Welsford and Brown's Flats for years and taught school at Welsford for 27 years as Linda Eastwood. She was married in 1973 to William Eastwood of Hoyt and  remarried in 2001 to Alvin Scott (of Boisetown) and live in Saint John.)

This covered wagon that brought the children from South Colones to school each day, in North Clones. Bernice thinks the drives name was Boucher. (She (and we) would be interested if anyone knows more about this as she cannot remember the details but remembers them coming each day in the covered wagon.)
