Excerpt from The History of the Old Eagle School: Tredyffrin, in Chester County, Pennsylvania; With Alphabetical Lists of Interments in the Graveyard and of German Settlers in Chester County; And a Poem Presenting the Suggestive Features of the Place This schoolhouse of the German pioneers Has welcomed many creeds for prayer and praise, And proved a fane where often through its years An anxious soul found parting of the ways. The grassy mounds, hard by, recall the Dead Who gathered here the lore of school-taught days: The trampled turf which told their merry tread Now shows the grasses grown in tangled maze.
