1910: In 1910 as the need for more rooms developed, the roof on the Brant District #1 School was raised and the school was transformed into a two story, four classroom structure. The Brant school at that time was located on the Brant-Angola Road. The structure, easily recognizable, is still standing today and is currently an apartment building owned by the Pero family. 1913-1914: Natural gas lines were installed in Brant and the number of kerosene lamps began to diminish and were replaced by gas lamps.

Dear Friends,

Recently my husband, Arlon P. Georger, passed away. He was 86, but we wished he could have lived longer.

I wanted to thank his band for the red, white & blue flowers they sent, the Connors who donated to the SPCA, Father Seil for prayers offers and Father Mark Wolski for attending, and Katie Ireland’s workplace for the beautiful flowers sent.

We thank the former students for coming, and some from long distances like SC, Ohio and PA. Thank you also for flowers from Stewart Title, the flowers from Eden Teacher’s Assoc. and Western Office of NYSUT, and the Joys (and family) of Erie, PA.

Sincerely, Mrs. Christine Georger

Eden Family Dental has invested in two new pieces of equipment that we are excited to utilize for our patients.

Our doctors and assistant have been trained to use a digital scanner to view our patient's teeth in 3D. This is a no-radiation scanner and, in many cases, can eliminate the need to take goopy impressions of the mouth. This makes our appointments quicker and less risk of gagging during impressions.

These scans transmit within seconds to our in-house dental mill, which employs CAD-CAM (computer aided design and manufacturing) to fabricate ceramic crowns within 40 minutes. This allows our patients to be fitted with their permanent dental crown at one visit, rather than returning in 1-2 weeks or wearing a temporary crown.
