The following is by Charles Lewis Robbins who was born in Brush Creek, Iowa on March 17, 1878. He married Clara Pauline Brooks (of the local “Brooks Colony”) April 16, 1902 in Pawnee, Oklahoma. Clara was a daugher of Alfred Clark Brooks and Frances Richards. Clara died July 8, 1974 and Charles January 27, 1978, both in Sunnyside, Washington. [Charles wrote these words in blank pages of the register.]
I came in possession of this record as a gift from my cousin James (Jimmie) Crawford. I visited him and his brothers and sisters in 1946. They had come into possession of this school Record in some old trunks they had bought at the sale of the Doan [Doane] family after the last death in their family. I am now living in Sunnyside, Washington. The date is Nov. 1967. Many of these scholars, as they were then called, were known to me in my early years. Among the names are both of my parents, Lewis E. Robbins and my mother Julia L. Barnes. My mother was the foster daughter of a man named Smith, (Murray) I think. So her name is listed as Julia L. Smith. My wife, Clara, formerly Brooks, has her mother Frances L. Richards and her sister Clara Richards and brothers Walter, William, Herbert and Everet[t] mentioned in the record. As these names are now 102 years old they are fading and I have taken it upon myself to rewrite the ones whom I remember. I am now 89 years old, so you who now read this will please forgive possible errors. I probably know, or did know, the most names in this book of any one living.

Fayette County, Iowa Townships
| Eden | Auburn | Dover | Clermont |
| Bethel | Windsor | West Union | Pleasant Valley |
| Banks | Center | Westfield | Ilyria |
| Fremont | Harlan | Smithfield | Fairfield |
| Oran | Jefferson | Scott | Putnam |
Each township is 6 x 6 miles square. The county is a perfect triangle – 24 miles wide east and west, 30 miles long north and south.
This school was in Fairfield Township at a little town of Taylorsville. At the beginning of the school year, 1864 & 65, there were as this Register shows 31 boys and 46 girls – 77 scholars. My father Lewis E. Robbins (No. 22 page 1) and mother Julia Barnes Smith (No. 29 page 3) were in school together that fall and winter term. This school building later burned and as the town of Brush Creek, now Arlington, had come into existence on the railroad and had a school, a much smaller house was built. My wife Clara Brooks taught her first term of school there in 1894.
At the close of Charles’ estate, as his grandson, I came into possession of this record. Knowing its genealogical and historical value I have entered the record as written into my computer, leaving out only the daily attendance marks. I then compiled this index. It is my intention to have the original fragile and crumbling document placed in some museum or society which will appreciate it and make photo copies available to others. The computer record consists of three parts: (1) “Saga of Taylorsville” (which is Charles Robbins’ history of the town and Fairfield School), (2) Fairfield Township School Register, and (3) this index. All of these are available from me at the following e-mail address. Each part is in a separate file. Persons wishing to know more about specific daily attendance should refer to the photo copy when and where it is made available. I apologize for any errors that I may have made. The ink is often very faint, pages are crumbling, names are spelled various ways, the writing is in ornate Spencerian script and I get tired. I would appreciate being informed of errors so that I can correct them.
