There were 42 children of school age recorded in the district,and 31 of these attended during the school year with an average daily attendance of 13.

In 1918 and again in 1926, Roscoe Schoonmaker was the trustee. In 1920 Arthur Hitsley served as trustee and Stanton Clute as collector. In 1925, Alvy White was trustee and the collector was Raymond Warner.

Present research has not disclosed when this schoolhouse was moved to Township, but it was subsequently bought by Duane Finch and is now [1972] owned by Leonard Tubbs who has converted it to his home. In 1932 the District was annexed to the Berne-Knox Central School System.
