pages 83 & 84)

The two little frame school houses were erected on the same spot, Section 8-40-7, and school was maintained for the benefit of the family of Adolph Lessard who kept a stopping place a few rods distant.

The first school house was built by Mr. Lessard in 1893 without expense to the district.  This building was destroyed by fire during the summer of 1894 and was rebuilt during September by Mr. Lessard, this time at the expense of the school district. 

Terms of school have been held as follows:

CAREY, Ella M. - September 11 to December 1, 1894
CAREY, Ella M. - March 5 to June 22, 1894

During the spring of 1901 Mr. Lessard and his family moved to the village of Hayward and it is possible that no school will be maintained in this school house in the near future.
