Mathews Local Schools

With guidance from the Vienna Historical Society, our 6th grade students explored the Vienna Township Cemetery this morning, learning about the lives of the area’s early settlers and the stories behind the symbolism found on tombstones. Historical Society members shared stories about the cemetery’s origins, which date back to 1805, and pointed out the graves of notable figures such as Ithel F. Mathews, a name that continues to live on through the district’s schools.
