The building was erected ont he N. E. corner Section 30-39-5 during the summer of 1899.  Only one term of school has been held in the school house and that was taught by Gertrude Jordan for two months during the spring of 1901.

The school house was not built by contract but was erected under the immediate supervision of school clerk, Alfred Raynor, and most of the carpenter work was done by W. H. Marquette.

The school house was erected for the benefit of the families of Joseph Buckwheat (Joseph Sarrsin), Herman Barnaby, Joseph Le Beouff, and Frank Branchau.

Vere N. Hyatt has been employed to teach this school during the fall of 1901.
