The first officers of our school were:  Clerk, L. B. Foster for one year, director, Delos Granger for two years, and treasurer, Thomas Bonell for three years.  School was to be held in a building owned by Mr. Todd, three months in the fall and three months in the spring.

On July 17, 1876, a special meeting was held to locate and decide on building a school house 16 x 24 ft. with 10 ft. studdings.  They decided to borrow $200 and to use the $66.83 in the district fund if necessary.  The Building Committee consisted of:  Wm. H. Todd, Delos Granger, A. Grant and Thomas Bonell.
