Charles Roller Begins Teaching

In September of 1865, five months after the end of the war, Charles Roller joined C. M. Packer as a teacher in the school at the Augusta Church. Before and after the war there were schools in the vicinity of the church; they were variously referred to as the Old Fort Academy, Augusta High School and Augusta Academy. There was a red brick building on the grounds of the church which housed one or more of these schools over a period of time.
