There had been classes in the Neville Institute in the east end for some time. From 1838 until 1885 Neville Institute was under the direction of trustees as spelled out by the will of John Bever. In 1886 the East Liverpool Board of Education agreed to pay 2 months salary and the trustees paid for 3 months salary for the teacher at Neville Institute. At that time also a prescribed course of instruction was presented for the Institute. Other schools in the outlying areas of the city had been opened previous to 1890 — West End or Seldom Seen, Ohio City sometimes called "St. George"! Grant Street and Third Street.

Hyperlinking, or as it is also called framing, without permission is not permitted.
Legally speaking framing is still in a murky area of the law though there have been court cases in which framing has been seen as violation of copyright law. Many cases that were taken to court ended up settling out-of-court with the one doing the framing agreeing to cease framing and to just use a regular link to the other site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society pays fees to keep their site online. A person framing the Society site is effectively presenting the entire East Liverpool Historical Society web site as his own site and doing it at no cost to himself, i.e. stealing the site.
