SLOPING
VALLEY SCHOOL, COUNTY TRUNK MM
The first school was organized and
built prior to 1867. Lucy Sweeny taught five months of school in 1867-68 and
received $118.00.
In 1873, $500 was paid for a new school
and $25 was bid for the 1/4 acre of land to Carl Braunschweig;
the old schoolhouse was sold to William Seefeldt for
$13.
By 1890, Bridget O'Brien received $100
for teaching four months of winter school and three months of summer school.
__hne and Hames were paid $35 for drilling a well and installing a
pump.
Margaret Condon, teaching in 1904, was
paid $40 a month. A new wood frame school was built in 1904 and a school bell
was purchased from August Roeseler for $12.53.
An interesting notation in the teaching
contract of Irene McGuire in 1917 stated: "It shall be the teacher's duty to have
the school house warm in the morning for the children. The children shall be
advised to talk the English language at school as much as possible."
A shed was build to store coal and wood
in 1928.
In 1933, the teacher was Alfred Bahe. Lumber and coal cost the district $15.14.
By 1937, students were being
transported to another school and it was voted to close the school. It remained
closed and was finally sold to Lloyd Schmidt for $300.00 in 1944. He removed it
to his property in the west part of the township, along County Trunk E
southwest of Hustisford.
