It was sold in 1947 to Erwin Wemett for $745. It now belongs to Peter Callahan. It is thought to have been built about 1875 - 86, was a log building prior to the present structure, land may have been donated by Humphreys. Water was piped across the road from the Spencer property. The Callahan family has lived there since. Mrs. Helen Wright schooled there at one time. Herb Humphrey said he went to first grade at that school about 1944 and that was the last year the school was open. He recalls one autumn day that the teacher let the students out of school early, someone had dropped of a bunch of onion bags, and the students spent the day picking milkweed pods filling the onion bags, which would be picked up later and used as filling for life jackets during World War II. |
