Theodore Hobbs appeared before the school board at its March 1892 meeting and asked that a school be provided for on Section 28-40-9.  Mr. Hobbs had four or five children of school age and the nearest school was two and one half miles distant.  A month later a school was opened in the Frank Clough log school house about forty rods from the residence of said Hobbs, but none of his five children appeared on the first or any succeeding day of the term.  Antoehr term opened with another teacher in charge and two of the Hobbs children were enrolled - one for thirty-nine and one-half days, and the other for fifty-five days.  They they all said in chorus, "I am done."  Term after term opened and closed - a new school house was erected not many rods distant - the old Clough building was abandoned - but look where, or when you would, not a Hobbs has been seen in school to this day (1902).

The school house was erected on the south ½ N. W. ¼ Section 33-40-9, during the summer of 1893 - Henry Belding doing most of the carpenter work.  The terms of school have been as follows:
