Ready to learn: Students pose in front of their school in Skunk’s Misery. In a letter to the Enterprise editor this week, Nancy Frueh, vice president of the Knox Historical Society, quotes from the Knox sesquicentennial history booklet published in 1972, describing the area of school District No. 3, known as "Skunk's Misery" and located at what is now the corner of Pleasant Valley Road and Tabor Road. Frueh was responding to a recent column by John Williams mentioning its as a source of Christmas trees and she called for help finding more information about the history of the area and its name.
