SUNDAY-SCHOOLS – Page 648

At present there are three Sunday-schools in Monaghan:  Mount Pleasant, 
Andersontown and Filey’s.  A few years ago there were two more schools within 
the limits of the township (One at Myer’s schoolhouse, and one at Siddonsburg 
schoolhouse), but they have been discontinued.  There has been a great deal of 
interest infused into Sunday-school work since the organization known as the 
Upper District Sunday-school Association of York County, composed of Sabbath-
school workers from the townships of Monaghan, Carroll, Franklin, Washington and 
Warrington, which meets at least once a year.  Mount Pleasant School is 
superintended by W. A. and W. W. Myers; Ida L. Cannon is secretary.  Number of 
pupils, 112; teachers, nine.  It is kept open the entire year.

Andersontown Sunday-school is superintended by H. M. Traver; H. S. Moore, 
secretary.  Number of pupils, sixty-five; teachers, seven.  It is kept open nine 
months of the year.
