This school was maintained for the benefit of the families of Joseph Larson, H. A. Pierce, and Mrs. E. J. Wheeler.  The school house was built of logs by H. A. Pierce under the general supervision of school clerk William Jordan during the summer of 1895.  It stands on lot 3, Section 21-39-9.

Terms of school have been held as follows:

SABEAN, Grace - Summer of 1895 for three months
BORGAN, Eleanor - May 3 to July 23, 1897
HICKS, Sara - October 18 to December 24, 1897
LANGSLOW, Olive - April 18 to July 8, 1898
WHEELER, Mary - September 12 to December 2, 1898
WHEELER, Mary - December 12, 1898 to March 31, 1899

The small attendance did not justify the continuance of this school and most of the children have since attended the Jordan school.
