schools served well educational needs of the young people of the community. I’m sure many happy memories can be
recalled by those pupils who spent their first eight or nine years in the school district #28. Those happy days
in the little one room school house, I hope, will never be forgotten.)

The school year of 1958 & 1959 was the lost year for Carwood school district #103. It did not open for the
fall term in 1959, due to the buses picking up the children at their homes. It was much handier for the parents
and the trend had come for bigger and better equipped school facilities. Time marches on.)

Recorder Office-Publishing notice of the Carwood sale on May8, 1962, last item on record-$4.01
(Records in the Holton Register of Deeds Office show that the sale of the Carwood School house land & miscellaneous
items was held on August 11, 1962 at 10 p.m. James McCauley of the Mayetta, was the auctioneer. The proceeds from
the sale was $1000.17 & was turned in to the county school system.
Carwood School & the one acre of land was purchased by a Mr. Spiker of Holton. He made it into a garage
for working on gravel trucks. It later became a body shop operated by his son for several years. Since some time
in 1989 or 90 it has become a junkyard & will, no doubt, some day either burn down, fall down or be torn down,
which has been the fate of most one room country schools. It seems a shame that they should suffer an untimely
end, for they were once the backbone of the community.
The little red school house served well the needs of the people in the community, not only for educational purposes,
but also a place for friends & neighbors to meet for entertainment, food, fellowship and any other type of
meeting, business or otherwise. The end of this era has brought a great loss to the rural community spirit which,
I’m sure will never again be regained.
So we say a final and sad farewell to the Black, Carmel, Glenwood & Carwood Schools and all the other one
room schools nationwide that have passed into oblivion. You have served us well and with great dignity.)
Bill Wilson
This history was written by my mother, Edith Wilson, sometime in 1985, I do not know the exact date. It would not
have been written had Betty Stolzenberger not brought the box of school record books by our house sometime in late
1984. She had moved to the Wetmore community sometime after the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, Jack.
I am grateful that she brought the books by and that my mother took the time the write and record this interesting
account of the schools in the neighborhood. It could have very easily been lost forever if the record books had
been destroyed. Mother enjoyed history and delving back in the past and spent many happy hours gleaning through
the school record books making this interesting history for us to enjoy and keep.
I am sure this will be highly valued by the relatives and friends of those listed in these pages in years to come
and a welcome reminder of the past. I hope these copies will stay in the safe keeping of those families so that
years from now the next generation might know the problems that were faced and conquered by their ancestors.
Betty and my mother are both gone now as are most of the people listed in this history. However, I feel that a
special word of thanks should be given to Betty for saving the record
Page 154
books and Mom for her time spent in recording it for us. I have enjoyed copying this, adding a little extra history
that I thought might be interest and reliving my days of happy boyhood spent in the Carmel School. It was a nice
time to grow up without nearly the problems that face the youth of today. We all came from homes that may have
lacked for money, but certainly not the important things such as love and understanding.
I do hope that those of you who read this now and in the future will enjoy it as much as I have and that we will
never forget what out forebears have done for us.
It was my privilege to submit the winning name of Carwood for the new District #103 in 1950. I am sure there is
a mistake now and then in punctuation and capitalization and I take full responsibility for those errors. The history
is, I believe, as
Page 155
accurate as can be made with what information is available. I doubt very much if any other one-room school has
a more complete recorded history and am happy to have a had a small part in preserving it.

The following is a more complete history of the District #28 and 103 teachers. Two teachers were hired during the
early years,
(Page 158)
usually a male for winter months and a female for the shorter spring term. School was generally scheduled for five
or six months in the fall and winter and two or three during the spring and summer. The amount of months taught
depended pretty much on the amount of money on hand. Some of the pupils were young adults in their early twenties,
so school was scheduled to miss the heavier workload at home. The teacher’s contract called for a given amount
by the month, but seems they were paid for only the days that were taught.
