Anyone who attended the Chazy Lake School… We’ll be opening a new blog soon completely dedicated to the Chazy Lake School and would love to know what your experience there was like, who your teacher was, when you attended and any tales you have to tell of your school days there.

  1. I am one of Valeda (King) LaDuke’s grandchildren. My cousin forwarded this web site to me. I am not sure what information or pictures my mother or I may have to contribute…..but tell us what you need and I will see what I can find out.

  2. I attended the school in Chazy lake from 1955 thru1960. Mrs Delia King was my teacher. There were 4 gades in one room. I believe we were the last one-room school in NY. My love for learning began there under Mrs Kiing’s expert tutelage. As a teacher now I can’t imagine her work load 4 grades- all subjects and never a cross word. She was great friends with my mother, Roma. I used to spend an occaisonal evening at her house. The King’s were all honorary Aunts and Uncles–If you need geneology on the DuBrey family contact Patricia DuBrey(Daniel) Her daughter Pam researched back to Canada & France. Cheryl Is this you? Duh–I remember you “babysitting” for me and letting me watch “forbidden fruit”— “The Adventures of Dobie Gillis” How guilty I felt!

  3. Hello Patricia, By 1955 I had graduated from PSTC and completed two years in the army. Then I moved to Minnesota where I taught for over 30 years. I retired in ‘88. I remember Roma (DuBrey) Noel very well. She was my 4H advisor and a good friend of my sister, Valeda. Noel’s store was a very important place in our little community. Several years ago I was in Chazy Lake and stopped to visit with Gerald. He showed me an old photo of the “old” Sullivan King home which later was bought by Frank and his wife. So, that house was built and first occupied by my great-grandfather and his family. I took a picture of the picture and still have it. I knew all of the DuBreys well. Victor was my best friend in elementary school, but I also knew Viola, Jay, Francis, and Ernest. I remember when the Chazy Lake School had 8 grades with one teacher. I, also, had Aunt Delia as my last elementary teacher.
