| District formed | 1868 |
| Years schools built | 1861 |

| Notes | *The struggle to
organize the district was a "long and bitter one" (Stillwater
Gazette). It was originally District 50, formed from Districts 5 and 6,
but dissolved shortly afterwards because of a "flaw in proceedings"
(Gazette). *The school was built around 1870, and Maggie O'Brien was the first teacher employed. *The school covered grades 1-7, and was 8 months long. *The school lay between the Jarchow and Curtis farms. *Enrollment in 1898: 25 students. From the 1900s through the 1930s, the enrollment was usually 10 to 15 students. |
| Memories: | "I lived in a neighboring District 55 so had a short distance-skiing over some fields to [hiking?] "Old Marine Rd."... and a mile north where I'd left my skis at the roadside." -Alice Schultz |
