ALMA SCHOOL Lot 27 (Lawrence Tract)-Town of Alma, Allegany County, NY From the 1855 census of Alma, Elizabeth Gibbs, age 23, lived in the home of Jesse B. Gibbs, teacher in Alma Village. It is presumed that she taught at Alma School. “Miss Mary MacDonald taught in the Alma District and her classes celebrated Arbor Day by placing a tin box under the tree they planted. It contained the names of all the pupils, the teacher and other local and school information.” (The Alma Story, Hazel Shear)
