pages 305 - 306)

This school house was erected ont he right bank of the Chippewa River - N. E. ¼ Section 34-38-7 - during the spring of 1887 by Alfred Raynor who had the contract from the school board.  A few years ago it was moved across the river to its present location - S. W. ¼ Section 35-38-7.  This and the Villiard school house were erected to accommodate the former patrons of the Belille school.  Joseph Harmon kept a little store and a stopping place near this school for a few years and for that reason it was sometimes called the Harmon school.

We have named Hattie E. HUNTINGTON as teacher in this school during the spring of 1891.  We have some doubt in regard to this but there seems to be no place to put her.  The records show that she drew three months' salary on May 7, 1891, and this amount is not accounted for anywhere else.  Rose ALLARD has been employed to teach in this school during the fall of 1901.
