Richland Township Schools

The below, except for the two newspaper articles, are from my mother, Dorothy (Carlson) Girvan, when she was a girl in country school, and also as a teacher in two country schools.  Anyone having additional photos from Richland schools, or information on the below photos, please share! Thanks very much to Kathy and Clayton Larson and the Miller family for helping to identify children in the Richland #3 photos.
