The following 1913 document is a school souvenir that identifies Naomi Emerick as the teacher of the Comp School and includes John Wilson "Wilse" Korns and Peter Petenbrink in the list of directors. The Comps School was located in Southampton Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. This school souvenir was reproduced from volume two of the 2007 book "A Look At Southampton Township Pennsylvania The Way It Used To Be!" with the permission of Mona Huffman.
A September 18, 1930 article in the "Meyersdale Republican" newspaper states, "The Comp school house was burned down in 1922 and was not since rebuilt. The pupils of this district are conveyed to the Kennell's Mill school."
The following excerpt from the Southampton Township portion of the 1876 "County Atlas of Somerset Pennsylvania" shows that the Comps School was located near and south of Comp's Church — at least in the circa-1876 timeframe.
