Oneida Stake Academy, shown here in the 1910s, was built in the 1890s with volunteer labor and financed by community giving—everything from donating a pig to selling a cow to cutting rocks. “Everything in the building is hand made, down to the bolts,” Necia Seamons says. “Children came here from a very large area and had to board with people in the community. It was a major commitment to get an education.”– Courtesy One
