I am curious about the Stone Arabia in Cicero since we have an area known as Stone Arabia here in Montgomery County -- do you know how that came to be known as the Stone Arabia Schoolhouse?  I know that there is a Stone Arabia down by Troy or Albany, but I didn't know that there was another one.  We get requests all of the time on how Stone Arabia got its name, so this is just a curiosity.

There is also the Stone Arabia Schoolhouse in Cicero, NY, which is a museum now.  http://www.cnyric.org/history/nsyr/allen/oconnor/site1.htm
