Hello Forest County Residents!
This week one of my volunteers, Sally Lyons, discovered a news article in the Forest Republican from May 26, 1938 that listed the eighth grade graduates from twenty-five rural schools in the area. Thanks to Sally’s great eye for historically significant information we now have a list of rural schools in the late 1930’s, which includes:
- Fairview School
- Boone School
- Kokoma School
- Engleking School
- Sherman School
- Wolf River School
- Mole Lake School
- Hillside School
- Brookside School
- Rummel School
- Range Line School
- Bonneval School
- Stone Lake School
- Blackwell School
- Newald School
- Carter School
- Maple Valley School
- Metonga School
- Popple River School
- Siding One School
- Siding Two School
- Windfall School
- Woodlawn School
- Greenview School
- Elvoy School
If anyone has any photos of the rural schools or knows the location of some of the more obscure schools please share them with the Crandon Public Library.
