EAST LOWELL SCHOOL #7

 

This souvenir is donated by Lucille Metzger Nowak.  Before 1900, East Lowell School #7 was known as Oak Valley School #7.

 

Lucille also attended Gahlman School, Clyman Township, for the 1st and 2nd grades.  She attended East Lowell School for grades 3 thru 8.  

 

Notes from Lucille:  Lucille told how her father would take milk to the cheese factory across the road from the school and would drop off the children at school in morning.  However, in the afternoon, they would walk the 2 miles plus back to their farm.  If the teacher was not at the school, they would go over to the cheese factory and help stir the milk in the large tanks to help make cheese.  When the weather was good, they would take a short cut home thru John Kuehl’s land to Highway 16 through the Methodist Cemetery and then home.  Water was brought in a pail to the school from the Edwin Kuehl (Keel) farm.

 

Lucille also told how she had to stop and bring supplies to school, because the mice were eating up the colored paper at school.

 

Lucille’s Aunt Clara said the Gahlman School (Clyman Township) was originally called the Fisher School.  (also noted in Gahlman, Clyman Township, School records)
