Lloyd C. Lieurance

Lloyd Lieurance first came to Wells County with his parents, brother and sister. He attended high school and graduated from Roll in Blackford County because Jackson Township had no high school at that time.

After high school he graduated from Muncie Normal College now Ball State University. He wrote the only history of that school and it is still in the Ball State Library.

During his college years, his parents deeded a small parcel of land to him in Jackson Township. Over the years he added to that land to make a total of four hundred acres.

Lloyd eventually remodeled the 1863 vintage house in 1938 giving it lights, furnace and a basement. He built a dairy barn in 1950. He always called the farm home but he only lived there intermittently until 1949 when he remodeled it again making it his permanent residence.

After college, he taught in Hamilton County and then became principal of what is now Hamilton Heights School. It was at this time he married Edna Shaffer of Arcadia, Indiana.

After obtaining his superintendents license from Indiana University, he ran for County Superintendent of the schools in Wells County. However, soon after he was sent to Europe to serve in World War II. Toward the end of the war, Captain Lieurance started a school for the American servicemen in Berlin, Germany. On the twentieth anniversary of that same school it had served more than ninety thousand servicemen and is now affiliated with the University of Maryland.

After the service, he returned to Wells County to become Superintendent again. Since there was nine schools in his district, his hobby of flying was beneficial, he used a makeshift landing strip in the field behind the house and landed in nearby fields at each school.

Lloyd C. Lieurance felt his greatest reward was in starting the Vera Cruz Opportunity School. Since the school was not state funded, he spoke before clubs and organizations to raise the funds necessary to start the school. He and several other greatly dedicated individuals worked to accomplish what was considered the impossible at that time.
