Anchor Township History
Education
McLean County, Illinois

(Transcribed by: Teri Moncelle Colglazier)

There are nine school districts in Anchor, and it has the largest township school fund of any in the county - $14,375. The school section was sold in 1869, for $22 per acre, giving a handsome sum, which seems to have been well cared for. The successive School Treasurers have been, W. H. Anderson, A. S. Dart, C. M. Grapes and J. R. Worley. [The History of McLean County, Illinois, Chicago: W. LeBaron Jr. & Co., 1879]
