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:

age in the neighborhood.
