On November 1, 1892, the
bill of Martin Teskey, who lives in town 37-8, was allowed for building
a school house in sub-district No. 2. We presume this was for the
erection of a little log school house on the E. ½ N. W. ¼
Section 25-37-8, which has since been known as the May school house.
It was built to give school privileges to the families of Thomas May and
Martin Tesky. School was maintained during the fall of 1899 for the
two children of George Talpin. No school was maintained during the
school year of 1900-1901 because there were no children in the neighborhood
to attend.
The terms of school have
been as follows:
JORDAN, Lillian A. - November
7, 1892 to March 29, 1893
SABIN, Edwin - June 8 to
August 22, 1893
HELLWEG, Elmer - 28 May
to August 18, 1894
MAY, Julia - April 15 to
July 2, 1895
O'DELL, Myrtle - Fall of
1899 for three months
