Deep Creek School

About a mile from the old farm is this school house, which was in use as such from 1895 to 1960 (it is presently used as a private residence). An uncle taught here for five years, grades 1-7 and about 30 kids. Most of my aunts and uncles went to school here as students (some under the tutelage of their brother!) including my mother. She also worked as a school janitor for a period, walking through the harsh prairie winter in the predawn to light the furnace before the kids arrived.
