The History of Eudora, Kansas
The History of Eudora, Kansas

Eudora’s first school was the Wakarusa Methodist Mission where Abraham Still taught Shawnee youth from 1851 to 1854. After he left, a private subscription school in Eudora was said to have started in 1858. People paid to send their children to the school, a common practice of the times. A Mr. C. Smith taught at the school.
The public school system in Eudora began on April 21, 1860, when the Eudora City Council voted to build a 20-foot by 30-foot, two-room frame school with a steeple at a cost of $410.19. On May 21, 1860, the Council accepted the gift from Paschal Fish of a lot in 1863 as the school site, but never built a school there.
The school, pictured to the right, at Sixth Street and Main Street (which was said to have been later moved to Seventh Street and Maple Street) opened for the fall term with F. Schowarte, also a city employee, as the teacher.
In these early years, plans were made to set up a “seminary,” a term usually associated with religious education and often a school where students lived on the premises. According to 1861 Kansas Territory Law, CHAPTER XXVI, AN ACT to incorporate the Eudora Seminary Association: “Be it enacted by the Governor and Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Kansas: Section 1. That Chas. Duer, Julius Karnasch, Julius Fischer, Jno. 0. Dunn, C. Marfillius, A. Tlioman, Henry Whitker, August Ziesniz, Frederick Farber, their associates and successors, are hereby Constituted a body politic and corporate, by the name and style of the "Eudora Seminary Association," and, by that name, shall be competent to make contracts, sue and be sued, plead and be impleaded, in all matters whatsoever. . . .Said association shall have further power to erect, at Eudora a seminary of learning, and shall prescribe rules and regulations for the government thereof; may provide for the erection of the necessary buildings, and receive donations, in money, or in property, real, personal or mixed, not exceeding the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, and may do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act, not inconsistent with the provisions thereof. This Bill, having been returned by the Governor, with his objections thereto, and, after reconsideration, having passed by a vote of two-thirds of both Houses, it has become a law this second day of February, A. D. 1861.”
In 1866, a 24-foot by 40-foot, two-story stone school between Seventh Street and Sixth Street on the east side of Church Street was built for $5,700 with H. C. Speer and Miss C. Whitcomb as teachers. The 1903 flood destroyed this school. One early principal was Joseph McCoy. Born in Coshocton County, Ohio, January 30, 1831, McCoy graduated from the Normal Academy at West Bedford, Ohio. He taught in various Ohio locations until 1876 before teaching three sessions in Peabody, Kansas, and serving as principal of the public school in Parkville, Missouri, before coming to Eudora to be school principal, according to the History of the State of Kansas.
A school taught by Miss P. Hill also was built for black students, but its location remains unknown. However, the 1873 Douglas County Atlas map indicates a school was at Tenth Street and Maple Street, which may have been the school. This school was in Eudora as early as 1865, according to an account of the time.
A small brick addition was built in 1881 south of the stone building on Church Street for the third and fourth grades. Not long after, Turner Hall, which was across from the stone building, was bought for use as the first grade classroom taught by Alma Griffith. The Eudora school system held classes in the building from 1894 until 1908. Also during this time, private instruction continued. For instance, P. F. Heiser came over from Lawrence in the 1880s to give German lessons Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Hedwig Sunderegger also taught German school in the 1890s for three summer months; tuition was $2.25.
In 1898, the first year that records are available, 227 children attended school in Eudora. Four teachers taught the school’s black and white students. In 1902, high school level classes were offered for the 11 high school students. Subjects taught included English, physics, algebra, bookkeeping, drawing, and geography. Both the stone and brick building were razed in 1903 to make way for a $11, 500, six-room, two-story, brick grade school with belfry at 626 Church Street that was used until 1951. The primary grades attended classes in three rooms on its first floor. In three of the upstairs rooms, one on the north and two on the south, high school classes were held. The fourth room, on the west, served as the school library and equipment room. The basement housed the bathrooms and play area for days when the weather would not permit the students to go outside. Outside, students played basketball. By 1904, when the red brick schoolhouse was completed, five teachers overseen by principal O.J. Lane taught the 189 students (including 15 high school students). According to the October 24, 1918 Eudora Weekly News, it took five elections to raise bonds to build the school.
By 1905, students, 29 of whom attended high school, numbered 231. Mattie (Catlin) Kindred remembered that the fifth and sixth grade teacher of the time wore the same dress all winter. Eudora High School had its first high school graduation that year for students in the Fuller Building. Graduating students included members of the Gabriel, Schopper, Shellack, Seiwald, Sommer, Ziesenis, Durr, Everley, Eder, Hadl, Lothholz, Trefz, Wichman, and Wilsonfamilies.
An autograph book dating to 1908 and 1909 that presumably belonged to Ella (Reber) Gerstenberger and now to Janet (Sommer) Campbell had the following schoolmate wishes for Ella on June 6, 1908.
Dear friend, Some write for money, some write for fame, I write simply, to sign my name. Your friend and schoolmate, Frederick Smith.
Dear Sister, When the clouds are dark and dreary, think of Charles Gerstenberger and be weary. Yours truly, L. L.
Dear Ella, Walking through life sequestered seems, with a loving heart as pure as gold, may your days be always sunny, and may your children see you grow very old, Aunt Mary Reber.
Dear Sister, A favorite has no friends.” “Gray.” Your sister, Maggie L. S. Reber.
Dear Friend, Never look backward, but onward. Your friend and schoolmate, Douglas Harris.
Dear Cousin, When on this page a chance to look, think of me and close the book. Your cousin, Gideon Neis.
Dear Ella, Drop a pearl in memories casket for a friend. Your friend and schoolmate, Roy Harris.

“Dear Ella;” Don’t forget the E.H.S. kids, and the good times we had, because you are going to leave us soon. Is the wish of your true friend and schoolmate. Marie Robinson
Friend Ella: Ready to go, ready to wait, ready a gap to fill; ready for service small or great, ready to do His will. “Phillips Brooks.” Chas. Kelly. EHS.
The 1910 count of school-aged children showed: “white” girls (93), “colored” girls (20); “white” boys (109); and “colored” boys (22). Charles Kelly served as principal for the high school in 1916, and Ida L. Coffin was the grade school principal.
Some students from the country boarded in town. For example, the 1986-razed Westerhouse home on the north side of Seventh Street in the alley between Elm Street and Locust Street from 1909 to 1916 was used by Gussie Ziesenis for a millinery shop, according to Frank Page’s remembrances, and it also was a rooming house up to 1918 for girls.
Voters turned down a bond to build onto the school, a move that caused a Eudora Township rural high school district to be created and a bond passed to construct a new high school building. In 1918, the land was bought from the Meinke family at Tenth Street and Main Street to build a three-story high school building with an auditorium and a small gymnasium. A few years later, land between Tenth Street and Eleventh Street in the area between Elm Street and Locust Street was bought for use as an athletic field and later named Kerr Field after the principal who served from 1942 to 1966. Also that year, in February, the school board decided to have school on Saturdays for the remainder of the school year. The decision was made so students could cut three weeks from the school year to begin their summer farm work. Construction prevented the school from opening on time, so the school held classes at the Lothholz Opera House.
Margaret (Colman) Wulfkukle, who taught for five years starting in the year 1937, said that she, like teachers of that era, had to sign a contract stating that she would not marry during employment. A high school student that same year could study English, algebra, practical math, Latin 1, clothing, or industrial arts as a freshman; English, music appreciation, geometry, agriculture, modern history, foods, Latin II, and industrial arts as a sophomore; English, American government, sociology, typewriting, bookkeeping, biology, physiology, advanced home economics, psychology, and industrial arts as a junior; and American history, biology, typewriting II, and speech as a senior.
The school in Weaver closed in 1938 causing Eudora schools to have 104 high school students, 91 grade school students, and 25 parochial school students. Belleview, Hesper, and some Evening Star students also came when their school consolidated with Eudora in 1948.
At a Eudora Area Historical Society meeting, teachers reminisced. For example, in the mornings, grade school students lined up and marched into the classrooms while Lauretta Gerstenberger played away on a large piano and Madge Hill, a teacher, marked time to the music. Once, a teacher was discovered smoking in the basement and fired from her job, said Janice (Guenther) Colman.
In 1946, grade school teachers were Mary Richards, Marguerite Miller, Grace Kerr, Mary Weidensaul, Betty Fertig and Roberta Nottingham. When Sunflower Ordinance Works employees swelled Eudora, the 1903 school’s lunch room had to be used as a classroom. Seats owerflowed into aisles, and 60 first graders in 1944 attended school in the Eudora Methodist Churchhalf a day. The second grade class used the church for the other half of the day. In 1949, first graders attended school in the then Victory Theater between Elm Street and Main Street on the north side of Seventh Street.
In 1951, a consolidated grade school was built on the north side of the high school and connected to it by a mutual gymnasium with stage and lunch room. Five years later the grade school had four more rooms added and used a trailer for extra classroom space. An annex was added in 1959 for science classes and home economic classes. During this time, the 1903 school was condemned; new owners converted the former red brick grade school into a multi-housing unit and removed the belfry and second story.
Nottingham Elementary, built in 1965 at Fifteenth Street and Elm Street for $175,000, was named after teacher Roberta Nottingham, who taught primarily first grade for 43 years, including the years 1942 to 1967 in Eudora. Nottingham returned to the school each year after her retirement to celebrate her January 20 birthday, and, on March 9, 1966 was quoted in the Eudora Enterprise: “Every day I try to take time to find something that each child has done better or give him some word of encouragement.”
The school, under the direction of Tom Jerome (1967-1999), incorporated an open classroom concept for levels kindergarten through third grade and originally had eight classrooms, a central library area, and district administration offices. A 1975 addition created space for students from third to sixth grade. As of 2003, it returned to levels kindergarten through third grade. Through the years, it, too, has expanded in size. For example, the Eudora Board of Education approved a base bid of $667,000 for a four-room addition at Nottingham Elementary School in 1996. The contract went to Kelley and Dahlstrom Construction. With miscellaneous fees and renovation work on the library, the total cost of the project was estimated at $784,000.
At the combined middle and high school, a new metal building for a woodworking class was erected in 1970. A football field with track facilities replaced Kerr Field as the site for football games in 1976 and student enrollment reached 836 that same year.
In 1990, the secondary school principal, Charlie Watts, reported to the school board that the south wall was "bulging and cracking." Board members voted to have a structural engineer inspect the building. In his report, the engineer said the building was going into a "failure mode" and that the lime-based mortar used to hold the bricks together had turned powdery and crumbled, allowing water to enter. The water rusted the steel lintels around the window, causing them to twist.
The fire marshal ordered the district to suspend use of the building. Three hundred people gathered to hear the report and a fire marshal’s letter. To make up for the space loss, Kan-Build of Osage City set up three modular, 66-foot by 29-foot units in the parking lot for classroom use.
The Information Group for USD 491 formed to explore building renovation before building the facility proposed by the school board. The PRIDE (Patrons Responsible in Developing Education) also formed to support the building of a new high school. Petitions and hearings failed to halt the demolition of the original high school in July 1991. The school district kept 2,000 bricks, keystones reading "High School" and "1918," and the flagpole.
Construction began in 1993 for the $5.3 million, 84,000 square foot facility to house 350 high school students. Mohan Construction from Topeka built the school, which was to be expanded if student enrollment increased, and also built the Eudora West Elementary school near Fourteenth Street and Winchester Road, financed from the district’s capital outlay fund. In 2009, West housed the district's preschool and all-day kindergarten programs for one year. School administrative offices were moved to this location in 2013 from the former “bus barn” location on Tenth Street.
Built too small to hold the incoming students, the high school, school board members said, needed to be larger, and convinced voters in 2002 to approve the construction of a $16 million building north of the 1993 school, which became a school for students from sixth to eighth grade in 2003. The shifting of the grades prompted the third grade classrooms to be located in West Elementary, also. Not long after the vote to build a new high school, the school board took back its offer to sell the 10th Street school to the city after the city council had launched an $18,000 study evaluating the site. Although parts of the school facility at Tenth Street and Main Street, the school board said, would be for community use; in 2003, the school had a contract to use other space for vocational educational in culinary skills, health care, and auto collision repair, and called the Eudora Community Learning Center. In 2005, the school board announced it wanted to sell the site to build a bus depot by the Eudora High School. However, the school's clear title to that land was clouded by city interest in the property. To clear the title, the school traded its interest in land where the swimming pool and tennis courts stood and $50,000 from the city for clear title to the 10th Street property.
National Certification Education Statistics figures from the 2003-2003 school year showed 70 teachers; five aides; two libraries; 11 district administrators; four school administrators; 1,199 students; and four schools. In 2006, all-day kindergarten replaced the school's half day kindergarten program. By 2007, USD 491 had 88 teachers and 1,400 students.
In 2005, citizens protested new stadium construction with a petition, and USD 491 announced it planned to sell the Tenth Street site for funds to build a bus depot by Eudora High School. Partial city ownership clouded the Tenth Street site title prompting the school to trade its interest in land where the pool is for $50,000 from the city and clear title to the Tenth Street property.
In 2007, USD 491, which has its office on the southeast corner of Tenth Street and Elm Street and has 1,400 students, proposed a $45 million bond for a sports stadium, elementary school, and building expansions. A record voter turnout passed the bond issue with voters south of K-10 Highway in strong support. The district bought 47 acres on east Tenth Street to build the $27 million elementary school for first through fifth grades. Eudora Elementary School, 801 W. 10th St., was built to hold up to a thousand students and opened in August 2009.
Extracurricular programs have changed and grown throughout the years. Examples include the senior trip to Kirkwood Lodge in Osage Beach, Missouri; prom and parent-sponsored “after prom” party; Homecoming Parade; Halloween parade to the nursing home from Nottingham; adopt-a-grandparent program that began in 1979 and links third-grade students with nursing home residents; Exchange City trip in fifth grade; the sixth-grade DARE: To Keep Kids Off Drugs, introduced in 1988 by Gregory Dahlem; the school play; and eighth grade graduation.
The teachers and administration, too, regularly change but grow in numbers. Some stay with the system for decades such as Joe Hanna, a high school math teacher who moved to Texas in 2004, or Charlie Watts, a Eudora High School graduate, who began his 28-year Eudora school career as a sixth grade teacher and ended it as the high school principal. One, who was with the Eudora school system for decades was Larry McPherson, a former Eudora biology teacher and athletic director. As a driver’s education teacher since 1963, he spent summers teaching students over age 14 to drive. In a 1980s news article, he was quoted as saying: “I’ve had a lot of close calls. So many, I could write a book. I grab hold of the wheel a lot.”
Several parent organizations have supported the school such as the Booster Club and Cardinal 12th Man Club started by Bruce Kracl and Tom Stein at the beginning of the 2001 EHS football season to provide the football team with pre-game meals and away game meals. It also provided an end-of-the-season scrapbook chronicling the season and tailgate parties.

Holy Family Parochial School. Three Sisters of Charity — Mary Baptist Carney, Clara Kammer, and Ursula Sebus — from Leavenworth opened the Holy Family School in 1879 in a converted frame building across the street from the first Holy Family Church. Father Pichler taught the first two terms of school. Father Carius followed and taught with Katherine Blechel, a German scholar. Sister Alexia, a member of Sisters of Charity, Leavenworth, died during that time. She had been born in German 72 years ago and was among the first who taught in the parochial school in Eudora.
Teachers taught in the German language for several years. Several Lutheran children of the town, among them Lothholz family members, attended the parochial school. An invasion of grasshoppers ruined crops, forcing the school to close for a time because families couldn’t pay tuition. After it reopened, records for 1886 listed 40 pupils. Between 1893 to 1899, the school averaged 60 pupils.
Frank Sommer led the construction on a new school building in 1893 that was completed in 1894. Agnes Dunegan taught the first two school terms in this building, followed by a man from Denver, and later Kate Ginter. Hard times and a drought caused the school to shut down again for a few years.
Ursuline sisters from Paola re-opened the school. But once again, not enough money could be raised and the school closed in 1913. The building was used as a parish hall until 1925.
Under the guidance of Father Joseph Reich, the parish members built a new school in 1925 dedicated on Labor Day with a chicken dinner served the by Altar Society and concert by the Knights of Columbus of Kansas City, Kan. Benedictine Sisters from Atchison staffed it and lived in the parish house. (The John Hadl residence, southeast of the school, served as the parish house instead. The next year, the sisters rented the Hadl home for $18 a month, and the priest resided in the former school.) Ernie Simon, Simon Backhoe, razed the convent and school in 1992.
John Schopper said he would donate $1,000 if the congregation would match that amount to build a home for the sisters. After the congregation accepted his proposal, Frank Sommer drew plans for a one-story, four-room, 23-foot by 28-foot house with basement. Workers finished the house in 1932. Sisters Mary and Patricia, O.S.B.T. taught during this time. The 1935 eighth grade graduating pupils were Robert Neustifter, Charles Zillner, Bernard Winters, and Albert Hadle; 1946 eighth grade graduates were Gabriel Dunlap, Charles Shawbaker, James Ploor, Mary Lou Born, Martha Lee Born, Emeteria Barajos, and Juanita Barajos.
Between 1956 to 1969, the school averaged about a hundred students taught by three nuns. Loss of sisters, rising operating costs, and decreasing enrollment lead to the school’s ending in May of 1970. The last eighth grade class to graduate there included Janet Sommer, Anita Alvarez, Dody Grosdidier, Larry Katzfey, Tony Van Dyke, Karen Wehner, Susie Kelley, J.D. Scherer, Martha Gruber, and Don Durkin.
Sancta Maria Montessori School. In 1985, Jane Govern and Kathleen La’brie, lay members of the Society of Our Lady of Most Holy Trinity, approached Martha Mersmann and Walter Mersmann to introduce the Montessori method to area Catholic children. After discussion with other families and Father Jim Flannagan from the Society of Our Lady in Massachusetts, some local Catholic parents decided to start a school for children ages three to seven years old in the basement of 1623 Elm Street. For the first two years, Govern taught the primary levels as Marilee Quinn, Lawrence, got her Montessori teaching credentials. After two years, Quinn taught the primary grades and Govern taught children ages 6-12. For many years, the school has averaged about 35 pupils each year. Through the years, remodeling and additions expanded the original area.

From the early 1800's to about 1950, one-room schools operated throughout Kansasas they did in many parts of the United States. At a Eudora Area Historical Society meeting on early schools, former teachers present were Maxine (Schellack) Averill, who taught at Kaw Valleyand Weaver; Margaret (Spitzli) Gabriel, who taught at Evening Star; Lena Milburn, who taught at Belle View; and Edna (Bond) Holmes, who taught at Clearfield.
They all remembered building stove fires to heat the schools. These stoves kept students warm on one side of their bodies and cold on the other. The teachers did everything from carrying the coal to organizing programs. Also, during the term year, schools operated every day. Teachers shared their dislike of outside privies. Each school had two, one for the boys and one for the girls. Schools also had a picture of George Washington hanging on their walls. Averill recalled she taught in 1934 to 1935 for $57.50 a month, which was higher than the average $35 to $40 monthly salary. She also said some of her students were not much younger than she.
Most of the following information about one-room schoolhouses around Eudora comes from Rural Schools and Schoolhouses of Douglas County by Goldie Piper Daniels (published in Baldwin, Kansas, by the author in 1975).
Belleview District No. 50. (1874-1948). Max and Caroline Sommer deeded one and one-half acres in the southeast corner of the Southeast ¼ of Section 24 Township 13 Range 20 to build a schoolhouse in 1874, although the school had been operating on that spot for several years. J. R. Allen helped lay out the grounds. C. M. Sears laid the foundation of the school, which was three miles south and two miles west of Eudora, and named it for its beautiful view to the east.
The school had kerosene lights and a large coal stove in the back of the room. Students had their own drinking cups for the well water. The outside well could be pumped dry, but would fill with water 20 minutes later. Outside toilets were northwest of the building.
Gertrude Wells was the only teacher known to have taught there before 1897. In a letter, she said she taught about 70 pupils. In 1898, the school graduated Blanche West and Harry Whaley and had 82 enrolled students taught by Lizzie Tuttle who received $41 in monthly wages. She used the texts of Excelsior readers, James & DeGarmo Spellers, Belefield Arithmetics, Rand McNally Geographies, and others. O.J. Lane taught after Tuttle (1900-1901), followed by Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Robertson (1901-1903), A.C. Sanborn and Alpha Lane(1903-1904). Other duos who each taught a term were: Blanche Pilcher and Bertha Allison, Edith Wolgamott and Lena Jones, and Maud Lybarger and Estella Lybarger (two terms). In 1907-1908, only B.F. Allison taught. Following teachers were Clide Butler, Edith Hess, Nellie Laws, Nellie Hyland, Malta Sheppard, Bernice Giffee, Ada Davis and Bernice Giffee, Ada Davis, Lola Wilbur, Ethel Pfleger, Kathleen Kelsell (one week), Mabel Wheeler, Ethel Kindred, Mabel Hevener, Violet Wilson, A. Louise Freese, Mrs. J. B. Birkhead, Edna Musick, Marian Grist, Milton Janicke, Buena Vista Morgan, Marian Madl, Alma Votaw, Alma Knott, and Lena Milburn.
The school closed from 1946 to 1948. The district voted 19-6 on February 26, 1948 to close the school and to become part of Eudora District No. 9. Leonard Hadl bought the school at auction and dismantled it. Pearson Davis bought the site. Kenneth Tuggle built a home on the site in 1952.
Bluemound School No. 29 (1854-1949). Ed Harvey, a lifetime resident of the area, wrote in 1943: “In talks with old settlers of the district, I have been told that the first school to be held in Blue Mound was held in 1857 in a house located on the northeast corner of the Northeast ¼ of Section 28 Township 13 Range 20 in Wakarusa Township. Records indicate that William Stone was hired in 1859 to teach for a three-month term. Chosen texts were Saunders’ Readers and Spellers, Colton and Fitche’s Geographies, Pineo’s Grammars, Ray’s Arithmetics and Algebra, and Parker’s Philosophy. Martha Cutter and Amanda Lutes taught the next two, three-month terms. Black children were taught in a house in Section 27 by Emma Whaley.”
The offer of Henry Landon to donate an acre of land for a schoolhouse was accepted in 1862. The 20-foot by 30-foot stone school house took two years to build as funds were raised. In 1865, students, both black and white, attended the school, which housed a community library and had a stone outhouse. A hedge row provided fencing and a windbreak. By 1869, the enrollment of 54 students caused the board to enlarge the building to 24-foot by 38-foot. A later coat of stucco after 1900 was the only other change made. The last class (1946) contained four students: Jeanette Mitchell, Gene Johnston, Barbara Mitchell, and Delores Mitchell. In 1949, 45 of 51 voters favored consolidation with Vinland causing the school to close. Some teachers who taught at Bluemound were Frankie Miller, Charles Barber, Julia Dunn, W. H. Gill and Katie Gill, Mary Conger, Amanda Allen, Annie Wood, J. J. Mason, Richard Mead, Annie Sears, Florida Bryson, William McQuiston, Josie Wheeler, Minnie Montgomery, L.D.L. Tosh, K. Williams, W.

Clearfield District No. 58 (Union District No. 24) (1852-1946). Established in 1852, this school is one of the oldest rural schools in Kansas. The first school, a 30-foot by 36-foot log building, was on the Rodewald farm three-fourths miles east of Clearfield on the banks of Captain’s Creek. It had four windows on each side, and inside a rostrum curved outward into the room and served as the teacher’s desk. Until 1880, the community also used the schoolhouse as a church. For many years when enrollment could reach as high as 100 students, teachers taught in German because few pupils could speak English. Families who sent students to the school, included those of Brecheisen, Breithaupt, Fuhs, Kramer, McKinney, Meeder, Strong, Shotterburg, Staffen, Schopper, Sturm, Schendel, Selzer, and Adler.
In 1900, Sarah and Albert Rodewald deeded one and one-fourth acres near the southwest corner of Section 16, Township 14, Range 20 and 21 for a school site on which a former schoolhouse was erected, one-half mile west of the previous school. In 1908, Gideon and Paulina Breithaupt deeded land at Southeast ¼ of Section 17, Township 14, Range 21 so that the school house could be moved to a more convenient location. George Hausmann Sr. signed a lease in 1911 that gave the school the use of his well for 99 years or as long as the school needed it. The school also used a cistern dug later. After 1946, the school closed and students attended school in the Baldwin school district. The Grange used the schoolhouse for a meeting place for many years until the schoolhouse became personal property. Some teachers were Hattie Hanson, Alice Reed and Emma Schendel, George Nichols, Ida Reed, Anna Parker, Katharyn Brecheisen, Anna Miller, Ellen Mellville, Elsie Hibner, Stella Breithaupt, Ervie Wingert Breithaupt, John Albright, Vera Breithaupt, Lillian Milburn, Helen Johns, Nora Vitt, Winona Selzer, Helen Selzer, Mrs. H. Breithaupt, Isabelle Maxwell, Fern Broers, Dorothy Gabriel, Anna Louise Welch, Esther Eckman, Katherine Kelly, Lorene Williams, Anna Kelley, Margaret Lytle, Clara Randel, Rosemary Stewart, and Edna (Bond) Holmes.
Evening Star. Three miles east of Eudora, this square building schoolhouse closed in 1946, remembered Elva Ruth. Students drank with tin cups from a well, which occasionally went dry. When the well ran dry, students would have to go to the neighbors up the road to get water. Ruth said everyone wanted this job to get out of class
Fairview (1880s-1945). Also known as Scratchpoint, this school was located in Johnson County three miles south and three-fourths east of Eudora. It is estimated to have been in existence in the 1880s, but exact dates remain unknown because records before 1937 were destroyed. The building had one large classroom, a small entry-way, coal and wood stove, a well with a pump outside, and outside toilets. Playground equipment was a swing, teeter-totter, and ball bat. The Neis, Mistele, Outland, Hales, Koch and other families sent children to this school. Elsie Oldham remembered that the school had a potbelly stove, pie suppers, and examinations taken at Prairie Center each year. When Fairview consolidated with Hesper in 1945, the building was sold and moved to 731 Maple Street in Eudora. Teachers included Sam and Ruth Hill, Ruth Allison, Mrs. Garrett, Margie Fairchild, Clarence Miller, and Georgie Plistil. Teachers often lived with the Sam Neis family.
Fall Leaf. Students first attended school in a log cabin built in 1865. The #52 school district building was small and didn’t have any desks, only benches. Roxannie Davis of Hesper was the first teacher. The board officers were John J. Weber, clerk; Logan Ziegler, treasurer; and Andrew Brown, director. By 1870, there were 74 pupils enrolled, and in 1881, a stone building was built for the 63 students. The stone structure was replaced with a large, frame one-room building in 1899 that burned February 9, 1909. Then a brick schoolhouse was built on a knoll near the railroad tracks in 1913 by Albert Von Gunten, a contractor from Eudora. Arthur Kirkman, Ed Meinkey, Cleve Evert, Noah Canary, and Walter Dare helped in the construction of the school that still stands today. The last classes held in the brick schoolhouse were in 1953 for 13 students. After that year, the pupils were transferred to Linwood. When the school closed, it had only 13 students, and students such as those from the Tornedon, Bryant, Abbott, Pritchard, Canarys, Schellack, and Koerner families attended Linwood schools. The school later was used for Grange and Masonic meetings. Marie Wickey Milleret, a long-time resident of Fall Leaf, taught the eight-month term during 1941 and 1942, the war years. In August of 1993, Mrs. Milleret wrote some of her Fall Leaf school memories. She recalled: "School board members were Harvey Schlack, Fred Reetz and William Reetz. There were about 25 pupils in all eight grades. The building had a coal-fired stove in a corner. A Mrs. Abott was janitor, sweeping the room and starting the fire in the stove to warm the school before the teacher and pupils arrived. The students were active in the Leavenworth County Relays and "scored very high in 1942."
Farmland No. 71 (1870-1955). The widow of Robert Peebles deeded in 1870 an acre of land at the southwest corner of Section 31 Township 12 Range 21 for a 30-foot by 40-foot schoolhouse of soft bricks. It had four windows on each side and a door in the south. A blackboard extended across the north wall. Two cloak rooms at the front entrance partitioned the entry from the main school room. The partition was eight-feet high so that heat from the pot-bellied stove could pass over and warm the coats and keep the dinner bucket contents from freezing.
Records of 1898 showed the following students in the school: Minnie, Jennie, Gertrude, and Ada Browning; Henry and Lizzie Curlett; Clara, Joe, and Ralph Davis; Guy Grimes; Samuel Harris; Edna, Henry, and Edie Holton; Olive Holmes; James, Elmer, and May Norton; William Miller; John, Emma, Arthur, and Edwin Ott; Irvin, Lulu, and Emmett Pipes; and Mina, Lena, and Willie Schlegel.
In 1926, after oiling the floor to keep down dust and preserve the wood, the teacher built up the fire and banked it for the night. A fire destroyed the school during that night with many thinking the floor heat ignited the oil. Students went to either Kaw Valley School No. 12 or Eudora No. 28. Those coming to Eudora had to travel through a slough with water in it, so Fred Papenhausen was hired to transport them in a covered wagon drawn by a team of horses. He wrapped hot bricks in old blankets to kept students’ feet warm on the trip. J. L. Constant built a new schoolhouse that served the community until 1955 when the district merged with Kaw Valley District No. 95. Carl Perkins bought the schoolhouse and site for $3,300. Records starting in 1897 show some teachers who taught here: Miss R.E. Emmett, Sadie Dorsey, Eva Barrett, Otta Rhodes, Frances Albert, Ella Hase, Kathryn Leonhard, Mayme Brune, Alta Roe, Mary Fuller, Alice Hyatt, Douglas Harris, Nettie Phillips, Mary Henley, Howard Mann, Mary Schehrer, Phebe Bigsby, Anna Hammig, Louis Knopp, Stella Brazil, Martha Schehrer, Telitha Newton, Vera Hibbard, Gladys Peterson, Nellie Perkins, Bessie Brown, Annabel Rasmussen, Lorene Deckwa, Ruth Bartz, Alvena Knabe, Ethel March, Clara Waner, and Grace Waner.
Franklin District No. 16. At the pro-slavery settlement of Franklin, students first attended school in a cabin, then a church, and later a stone building that also was a store and post office. R. L. and Mary Williams deeded the southeast corner of lot 24 in Franklinfor a school site. On that site, a 30-foot by 36-foot white pine school school was made from lumber shipped from Minnesota farms. Students enrolled in the 1897 year were Elmer and Ada Breckenridge; Mabel Chambers; Charles Davis; Nelson, Grace, Arlie, and Nina Duncan; Lloyd and Roy Green; Willis and Leslie Hernel; Allie Hines; Olive, Anna, Edna, and Willis Hartman; Edna, Henry, and Edward Hilton; William, Jeanette, and Edith Johns; Harry Klass; Joe and Josephine Laughley; George, Charles, Maud, and Levi Sternberg; Mae Watkins; Fern Wilson; Jessie, Myrtle, Nora, Ethel, Eva, and Perry Whitney; and Lee, Walter, John, Edith, and Jennie Young.
For some reason, a new school house was built in 1912. It burned the same year and was rebuilt. By 1950, enrollment was so small that students attended school elsewhere. In February 1951, the district disorganized. Perry Kitzmiller bought the schoolhouse and equipment at auction and moved the building to his barn lot. Some teachers from 1897 on were B.E. Tuttle, Cora Elliott, Maida Donahue, Rella Houdyshel, Martha Koehring, Elsie Hoskins, Lawrenia Shaw, B.G. Allison, D.Z. Hinshaw, Alta Phillips, Maud Butler, Kathryn Saile, Bernice Eastman, Christine Meyer, Carol Martin, Mabel Burke, Florence Banker, Nellie McLean, W.S. Price, Ruth Ford, Ethel Miller, Carolyn Perkins, Ina Bahmaier, Mildred Wilson, Eunice O’Brien, Ellen Melville, Anna Lee, Anna Lee Johns, Kathleen Strong, Erma Rumsey Allison, Louise Pfleger, Dorothy Mae Nuffer, Lora Howe, Mable Nieder, Cecile Roney, and Orva Hoffman.
Harmony No. 57. On March 29, 1871, Anthony and Hannah Karns and Virgil and Agnes Hoffman deeded one square acre in the southwest corner of the Southeast ¼ of Section 1 Township 14 Range 20 and one square acre in the southeast corner of the East 1/2 of the Southwest ¼ of Section 1 Township 14 Range 20. The deed was only valid if the land was used as a school site. Lewis Swanson, a stonemason from Minnesota, built the native sandstone schoolhouse six miles south and two and one-half miles west of Eudora. The school got its name because on the day set for naming, two boys, and subsequently their fathers got in a fight. A suggestion for “Harmony” was then adopted. Those of school age in 1898 were Wilma, Orion, and Elmer Buford; Emma Butts; Jimmy, Teresa, Ella, and Flory Deay; Perry Dunn; Leonard Evenger; Teresa and Bertha Faust; Ida, Gin, and Rose Friend; Clarence, Effie, and Floyd Gottstein; Verna Hagerman; Fred and Hettie Hanson; Ralph Hatten; Ole, Lottie, George, Sadie, Mattie, Nettie, Charles, Jennie, and Eugene Harris; Bell and Harry Howard; Charlie, Arthur, Willie, Lester, John, and Sadie Joy; Bertha, Lottie, Oliver, Clarence, Jessie, Lola, and Mattie Karnes; Henry and Claud Landon; Peal, Mamie, Charlie, Frank, Everett, Flora, Grace, and George Leggett; Earl Palmateer; Walter Parsons; and Bessie Vitt. Faye Hagerman taught 19 pupils in 1940. By 1947, only six pupils attended the school. Consolidation with Vinland No. 88 was favored by 16 voters (4 opposed). One acre returned to the Karns estate; the other with the schoolhouse reverted to Howard Deay as part of his farm. Teachers were Alice Reed, George Nichols, Alvin Crouch, Leslie Fitz, Helen Gill, A.H. Crouch, Ada Lill, W.H. Horrell, J.W. Phelps, George Nichols, Clara Allison, Leroy Harris, Mrs. A.R. Shannon, George Nichols, Ellen Mellville, Ruth Harris, Stella Breithaupt, Ruby Selzer, Vera Saile, Gracy Fordyce, Cora Eckman, Winifred Stevens, Mildred Day, Bernice Holmes, Ellen Owen, Mildred Cook, Harzel Shirar, Lottie Jane Harrell, Mrs. Argel Cochran, Josephine Staadt, and Faye (Hagerman) Deay.
Hesper No. 5. School began in the Hesper community as soon as families, many of them Quaker, came to this settlement. Jeremiah and Elizabeth Hadley deeded an acre of land at the Southeast corner of Section 21 Township 13 Range 21 for a school site as long as it was used for a school. A log structure was put up, then replaced with a stone schoolhouse lit by kerosene lamps. Used until 1888, this building was replaced by a frame building. A coal furnace warmed the school in the early 1900s and piped-in gas in 1907 also provided heat. In the 1930s, the district bought Coleman lamps, new furniture, a furnace, and playground equipment. Jim Harris attended first and second grade at Hesper. His memories included being taught by the older girls and the teacher getting locked in the coal room. When the school consolidated with Eudora No. 28, the building became the property of the community.
Children attending the school, including those from the following families: Albright, Anderson, Bagby, Bruan, Baker, Bales, Bebout, Bisel, Broadshaper, Brooks, Brown, Burnell, Buck, Beers, Caviness, Cloud, Conger, Creevan, Cosand, Daltin, Davis, Daugherty, Deay, Dollnig, Douglas, Dunlap, Ehart, Epperson, Frazier, Frederick, Gabriel, Gault, Gerstenberger, Goodyear, Grantham, Guenther, Griffin, Grist, Grob, Hall, Hargardine, Harris, Haverty, Henderson, Henley, Henshaw, Hill, Irvin, Jamison, Jones, Jeffrey, Johnson, Kaseberger, Kelly, Kendall, Kerr, Kesinger, King, Kloche, Klopenstein, Koch, Koshler, Kramer, Kurtz, Lawrence, Lindley, Lowenstein, Maness, Marshall, Mathia, McBratney, McGillis, McIntryre, McPherson, Miller, Millington, Mohler, Moore, Neis, Needham, Nesbit, Ott, Page, Parker, Parks, Pearson, Perkins, Pfleger, Rausch, Rees, Rogers, Rosenau, Rush, Schooley, Seiwald, Simmers, Smith, Snow, Stubbs, Stanley, Stanton, Terrill, Todd, Tuttle, Vogel, Votaw, Walker, Warner, Watson, Welborn, Westerhouse, Williamson, Wilson, and Woodard. The Votaw families may have sent the most children, because a partial listing shows Alma, Blanche, Clara, Dorothy, Eldon, Eva, Everett, Georgia, Joseph, Josephine, Lela, Lucile, Marion, Milo, Ralph, Velda, Vernon, Victor, and Viola attended.

East Hopewell No. 68. Little is known about this school. A 1938 map shows its location in the southwest corner of the south half of the Southeast ¼ of Section 15 Township 14 Range 21 in Douglas County. About 1900, it joined with No. 70 in Johnson County and was known as No. 68 -70 until it disorganized in 1950 when students went to Baldwin schools. An 1897-1898 report shows W.R. Parks as a teacher for $30 a month and 27 students, three of them more than 20 years old. These students were Mary, Edith, Ellen, and Penina Balkey; John, August, Emma, Dan, Eddie, and Herman Bonsock; Walter, Mary, Sara, Lena, Anna, and Sophia Brecheisen; Sam, Darnda, and Milly Davidson; Michael and Lloyd Thomas; Dafne Kendall; Zella Page; and Lesta Radliff. Pupils in 1905-1906 taught by Bertha Green were Sophia Brecheisen, Amos Westerhouse, Theodore Thoren, Helen Kendall, Nettie Musick, Oscar Breicheisen, Mary McPherson, Leland Kendall, Florence Schneider, Lydia Kanzig, Oscar Westerhouse, Orpha Schneider, Alvena Kanzig, Leoti Milburn, Erwin Kanzig, Orin Eales, Jesse Brecheisen, Edwin Burnell, Bonnie Burnell, Ethel Westerhouse, Donald Rogers, Ethel Blakeman, George Musick, Elsie Bales, Agnes Thoren, Golder Blakeman, Esther Kendall, Hulda Thoren, Esther Brecheisen, and Gertrude Milburn. Later teachers were Jennie Armstrong, Ida Katherman, Cora Elliott, A.H. Couch, Alma Watson, Lena Brecheisen, Mamie Dauberman, Sophia Brecheisen, Mae Knabe, Lydia Kanzig, Anna Hammig, Inez Westerhouse, Ethel Kindred, Alvena Kanzig, Georgianna Stanley, Nellie Hyland, Esther Brecheisen, and Esther Miller. Reports after 1925 indicated that Johnson County took over the school.
Kaw Valley No. 12. Kaw Valley was unusual because it had classes for nine months of the year instead of the usual eight-month term. The Kansas River also flooded it several times. Each time it flooded, a mark was painted on a brick to indicate the water height that year. In 1892, a red brick schoolhouse replaced the sandstone building built on the acre donated by William and Ellen Hughes in 1867. Families who attended the school through the years were Altenbernd, Benefield, Carter, Catlett, Cox, Crawford, Faith, Garvin, Hall, Hughes, Kindred, McCabria, McFarland, Meuffles, Jenkins, Redmond, Richardson, Schaake, Suiter, Trueblood, and Walters. The schoolhouse was sold to a musician’s union, then burned May 2, 1964. Teachers were Bertha Van Tries, Miss Black, Mr. Shuck, Eva Frowe, Mildred hall, Louise Leonard, Lottie Brune, Rose Barker, Alice Barnhard, Nettie Caldwell, Mayme Brune, Bertha Crowder, Anna Powers, Fern Evans, Ruth Evans, Louise Loesch, Cecile Kiefer, Grace Showalter, Evelyn Hayden, Esther Brecheisen, Lena Brecheisen, Sena Sutton, Ethelmae Dodds, Mildred Chandler, Mrs. William Roe, Helen Brown, Mrs. Iva Dittrich, Josephine Foster, Maxine Shellack, Ann Williams, Coila Thurber, Alice Springer, Bessie Callahan, Rose Douglas, and Esther McCabria.
Oberlin No. 80. One miles and one-fourth east of Eudora on Seventh Street was the site Daniel and Maria Phoenicie donated on the Northeast corner of the Southeast ¼ of the Southeast ¼ of Section 4 Township 13 Range 21. Records of 1897-1898 show that Louise Leonhard taught there for $27 monthly. Students at that time were Amelia, William, Henry, Mary, and Harman Bartz; Alfred, Willie, and Henry Eisele; Karl and Oscar Lothholz; George, Minnie, Stella, and Tommy Monroe; and Samuel, Karl, Freddie, Bennie, Gideon, Lillian, Frank, and Hedwig Neis. School board members were Fred Neis, Mary Bernitz, and William Lothholz. Other teachers were Florence Alberts, Mrs. Nellie Robertson, Gertrude Sellards, Mrs. D.P. Merrion, Alice Reed, Alice Grimes, and Rosa Smith. Students were sent to Eudora for school in 1908, then returned to Oberlin the following year. However, students attended the Eudora school in 1910 after their school ultimately closed.
Pleasant Oak No. 45. When the Clearfield school became too crowded, Pleasant Oak School was built in 1907 to accommodate students two miles east of Clearfield. The school house was a frame structure with a belfry and bell. Carrie Blakeman taught from 1907-1910. Her students were: George, Bertie, Blanch and Minnie Breithaupt; Phillip, Harry, Teddy, Aaron, Benjamin, Rosa, Mae, Gertrude, Lena, Alma, and Emma Brecheisen; Harry, Willie, Katy, and Edna Dwyer; Earl, Arthur, and Elsie Mathia; Phillip, Nana, and Mae Meeder; Elmer and Flossie McKinney; and Margaret Baecker. Later teachers were Ida Steel, Stella Brazil, Ruth Kring, Ellen Mellville, Mabel Russel, Paul Selzer, Gertrude Brecheisen, and Edna Smith. In 1920, it became a joint district with Johnson County. Fire later destroyed the schoolhouse. Jean Reynolds remembered the school had a good library and music program. A well supplied water, and a large, round wood stove heated the building. Students used outside toilets and visited other schools for spelling bees and immunization shots. Each morning, students gathered around the flag pole and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
Roscoe No. 44. John McKnight and Sarah Ann McKnight deeded one acre for a school building site in 1864 for the Roscoe School, five miles south of Eudora. At the stone school house, W.P. Hamm taught the first year. His daughter later would serve on the school board and his grand-daughter teach at Roscoe School, too. The second schoolhouse was frame with a belfry and large bell. Its library had 206 volumes and a blackboard filled the back wall. Students in 1897-1898 were Ulysses, Frank, Annie, John, James, and Willie Anton; Lata Belvoir, Florence Bishop; Stella and Charlie Brazil; Omar Coates; Russell, Irvin, Arthur, and Freddie Deay; Fred, Martha, Carl, Homer, and Walter Gerstenberger; Charles and Gene Griffin; Joe and Jennie Reilback; Zuella and James Milbourn; Ephraim and Alice Music; Enda and Euna Nicol; Alma and Hervey Reed; Frank, Willie, Jake, Robert, Maud, and Wallace Reusch; Charlie and Clara Schehrer; Gustave Schmidt; Willie and Sammie Todd; Lelia Thoren; Bernie, Walter, and Ollie Vitt; Clinton, Meda, Elmer, Ida, and Jessie Wade; and Walter, Bessie, and Harry Werts.
When the 1940s started, less than 10 students enrolled. Enrollment picked up when families working at Sunflower Ordnance Works moved near DeSoto. But enrollment declined at the close of World War II, and the school closed in 1944. On January 24, 1948, the school joined the Eudora district. Some teachers were Lovie Reed, Estella Cowgill, Alice Jay, Gertrude Bell, Jennie Armstrong, Ida Reed, Leonard Root, Anna Miller, Mabel Sawhill, George Nichols, Anna Brecheisen, Stella Brazil, Hallie Person, Missa Ripley, Frank Cheney, Ruth Harris, Vera Breithaupt, Helen Sommer, Ethel Sommer, Jessie Dover, Martha Schehrer, Thelma (Haverty) Deay, Belle Rohe, Nora Vitt, Peggy Clayton, and Olive Randel.
Weaver No. 86. John and Australia Weaver deeded one acre of land for a school in the Northwest Corner of the Northwest ¼ of the Southeast ¼ of the Section 34, Township 12 Range 21. A building was built in 1893-1894. Two graduated in 1898: Rosa Erwin’s essay was “Soliquoy of an Old Ink Bottle,” and Lizzie Hill’s essay was “Little Things.” In 1900, there were 53 pupils ─ 18 black, 35 white, according to Oscar Broers in 1976. Weaver, located in the Kansas Riverbottoms, was fondly remembered by students Robert Neis, Kermit Broers, and Louis Kindred who told of the train that ran close by the schoolhouse. Broers remembered the old bell being turned upside down and filled full of water, then when the teacher pulled the rope the next morning, the water soaked the teacher. She wore wet clothes for the rest of the day. By 1937, the growing decline in the number of pupils reached 10. The next year, Weaver school closed. The students were bussed to Eudora. The land reverted to Sadie Roberts, and Oscar Broers dismantled the school, saving the floor for his new house one-half mile south of the school site. Teachers were Rebecca Herning (1898-1900), Alta Stanton (1900), W. J. Parnell (1901), S. B. Katerman, Bessie Smith, Alto Roe, Anna Miller, Lena Brechiesen, Etta Meinke, Douglas Harris (1911), Esther Pfleger (1915), Malta Sheppard (1916), Helen Shepherd Guer (1917), Mabel Caldwell (1918), Lydia Kanzig (1919), Rebecca Miller (1920), Mayme Hale (1922), Susie R. Lowman (1923), Elizabeth Ruth Becky (1924), Gladys Pierce (1925), Mabel Deay (1925), Marian Grist (1927), Hazel Smith (1929), Agnes Pine (1931), Gertude Churchbaugh (1933), Maxine Schellack (1934), Georgia Plistil (1936), Marcella Dwyer (1937), and, in 1938, pupils taken to Eudora School with tuition paid by District #86.
About the school, Mayme Kohler, wrote: “I started before I was six, Doug Harred was my first teacher, I will always remember him holding me on his lap and pulling a tooth. I had refused my mother’s offer, but felt ashamed to refuse him. He was like a father to me. He drove a buggy and horse to school from Keystone Corner. Esther Pfleger was my second grade teacher and they used flash cards. Lydia Kanzig followed Esther. We thought that she was the most beautiful teacher in the world.
“We had fall and spring programs. We had song recitation, and dialogue. We were so excited if we had a special part. We practiced several times a week. It was a disgrace to make a mistake or not know your part. We usually had a pie supper afterward or a gift exchange at Christmas time. Rebecca Miller followed Lydia Kanzig. She had a lot of singing ─ Christian and patriotic songs ─ and had devotions. I took my first piano lesson from her. I swept the school house to pay for the lessons. She lived in Lawrence. Mayme Hale was my last grade school teacher. I was the last pupil who had nine years at Weaver. If I ever was a teacher’s pet it was for Mayme. Hale. Our last event of our school year was our last day of school was the school dinner. My mother was always asked to bring sweet pickles. They were so crisp and crunchy. Each lady had a special dish. The food was fit for a king.
“I can remember walking in the springtime, smelling the corn stalks burning. The men were plowing and disking for potatoes and corn. Women were making their gardens. I often thought it was one of the most beautiful and fertile valley God ever made in America.”
