Just
after the turn of the century, several families, the Platts, Richards,
Lloyds, Donnellys, along with a few other families, headed up by Charles
F. Hanson, set about establishing a School District. Land was purchased
from W. Richards, and the school building was erected by Mr. J. Dixon
and Mr. Meredith Roberts. Mr Roberts, with the help of Mr. George Sparks,
went on to build the barn/stable, while Mr. John Sakofsky drilled the
water well and Daddy Woods, a tinsmith in Rimbey, supplied the casing
for a total of $175.10. Unfortunately the water from the well was not
good, so water was carried from the nearby Richards and McCullough farms.
The school was in operation from 1907 to 1949 when the students began
being bussed into Rimbey. |
