Shiloh School
1913
The January 6th 1913 edition of The Ocala Evening Star had the following item:
Miss Julia Sigmon left her home at South Lake Weir Thursday for Tallahassee, to resume her studies at the Florida State College for Women. She very pleasantly spent her holiday vacation in DeLand and relatives in Tampa and South Lake Weir.
Also in August there was a push to build a new high school building in Ocala. Note that only men could vote, Women’s suffrage would not happen until 1920.
The vote for school bonds passed 156 to 29 with the editor stating, “A number of our people are away for the summer, else the vote would have been larger, but isn’t likely that the proportion would have changed.” In August of 1913 it was noted that “Miss Julie Sigmon returned from Tallahassee, where she has been attending school and we are told that Miss Sigmon will teach at Shiloh this winter.”
