** Three members of the Wagar family served on Lakewood Boards of Education between 1871 and 1893. They were Adam, D.A., and D. H. Wagar. Adam Wagar definitely served between 1871 and 1881. The exact terms (between 1881 and 1893) of D.A. and D. H. Wagar are uncertain.

Margaret Manor Butler, in her book The Lakewood Story, wrote that Dr. Richard Fry, Alfred Elwell and C. G. Calkins were the charter members of the East Rockport (later Lakewood) Board of Education, elected January 28, 1871. Dr. Fry was chosen Chairman and Mr. Calkins was chosen Clerk.

Members of the Lakewood Boards of Education, 1871 to 1984, are named chronologically and alphabetically.
