The one-room school house was in town of Abrams, Wisconsin. The school was located on County E actually at the end of the road now called Sandalwood Road - the school's name was "Knowles". I think it was named after the governor, but that cannot be proven... it was what my father told me. He also went to the school when he was a boy.
The photo was taken in 1956 and our (Wieber) family obtained the photo
because the school was closing. I am almost 100% sure The teachers name was Miss Irene Bushmaker. She later
married and became Mrs. Irene Demith. She relocated to Lena, Wiconsin.
