Rock Creek School District No. 28

An agreement was made the 20th day of July 1874, between W.E. Partridge of Bazaar township, Chase County, Kansas and the School Board of District No. 28 to purchase one acre of land for one dollar, located on the northwest corner of the southwest quarter of section one (1) Township twenty-one (21) The original Warranty Deed, witnessed 8/06/1874 and recorded 8/12,/ 1874 by Register of Deeds.

A school was erected on this site, and the first teacher was Minnie Ellis.

A picture of Rock Creek School, District No. 28, was taken by Miss Mabel Coverdill, who was the teacher in 1915. The children attending this school in 1922, 50 years ago are: Ruth Burns, Anna Miser, Freda Matison, Robert Burns, Earl Yeager, James Yeager, Bruce Stewart, George H. Miser. Myrel Matison, Catherine Yeager, Sam E. Miser, James Burns, Lloyd McCabe. Teacher 1922: Miss Edith Fillmore.

The old school burned down and a new school was built and continued until about 1948. I bought the building and remodeled it December 1949. Submitted by: George H. Miser

NOTE: The last teacher was Bruga M. Buxton in 1943-44. Co. Supt. records show that on April 14, 1949 Geo. Gutsch, Sheriff, sold the school building and site, at public auction as required by law.
