Clay County School Reports 1887-1914



Below are school reports, usually published in a local newspaper. They contain attendance, scholarship and activities information. It may seem there is not much genealogical information in these reports, but they can often tell if the family is in the county at a certain time, where that family is located and sometimes show a "lost" family member, especially in those "dead zone" years between 1885-1895 when there was no census information available.
