"Their first school was a little log house standing in the present corporation of Richmond, about 1839, having to go one and a half miles through the woods on a trail: no road cut. In order to slide on the ice they would fit wood to their feet and make holes with burning irons to fasten them on to their bare feet. Their first skates were made of wood by Tipsico, the big Indian, and presented to Zenas."
