This school was maintained to give school privileges to the families of John Ross and A. J. Spaulding, although a few from other families have attended for a brief period.

In January 1892, John Ross built a little log school house on Section 9-37-8 and asked the school board to furnish a teacher and start a school.

At the March meeting of the board they ordered the necessary supplies, and later the school was opened.  Terms of school have been held as follows:

KUNSMAN, Marie - April 18 to August 5, 1892
ROSS, Mrs. Nina - October 24, 1892 to January 13, 1893
HEAVERIN, Lottie - August 28 to November 17, 1893
HARRINGTON, Curtis L. - May 28 to August 17, 1894
BECK, Hilda - April 15 to July 5, 1895

No school was maintained for the school year 1900-1901 because there was only one child of school age in the neighborhood.
