Schools: Magnolia Township

Rock County, Wisconsin

Much thanks to Sue (and her aunt) for filling in the school names!!

According to the 1873 atlas and 1917 atlas for Rock County, there were seven rural schools in Magnolia
Township.
Moore school was also known as Little Stone Jug school.
Harvey school was the 5th District Elementary school. The roster of students for the summer term (May
4-August 21, 1896) of the Harvey school can be seen here.
Magnolia school was also known as Magnolia Center school.
Only two students were enrolled at the Drew school for the 1947-48 term.
I don't know which school was Magnolia No. 3, but its spring 1896 graduates can be seen here.
The location and current status of these school buildings is given below (using the modern road names).
The numbers given to each school are mine and not district numbers.
