Description
“Both a church and school have long contributed to the religious and social wants of the community. In 1865, the school which had heretofore existed as a subscribed, or community school, was turned over to the county and became a part of the state school system. For years the present building was located on the church lot in the village, Init the great need of more room for play-ground led to the school’s being moved a few years
ago to its present site (1920).” (Cochrane)
The “subscribed school” of 1865 had probably been taken over by the county school board before it appeared as School No. 5 on the Isler 1875 map and also listed as School No. 5 by the school board in 1877. By 1896, it had become School No. 11 in Election District No. 4.
