Die Spur des Loup, eine Geschichte der Region des Loup River . in seinem Haus in Scotia hat er gerade sein einhundertstes Jahr gefüllt, das ihn zum ältesten Einwohner des Landes Loup, wenn nicht sogar zum ältesten Mann unseres Staates, kennzeichnet. Kurz nach der Einrichtung der Poststelle entschieden sich die North Loupers, ein Schulhaus zu bauen. Diese Leute waren in der Tat Menschen der Bildung und;.EW, wie man gute Schulen schätzt, und ihey schlug vor, die Rechtfertiger eines Starts zu machen. Dementsprechend wurde ein ausgegrabener, vierzehnfüßiger Platz - ein bescheidener Enoogh-Anfang, aber unschätzbar besser als Nothingat - und Mi - konstruiert

The trail of the Loup; being a history of the Loup River region . at his home in Scotia; he has just filled his one hundredth year, which marks him the oldest resident in the Loup country, if not indeed theoldest man in our state. Shortly after the postoffice was established the North Loupers decidedto build a school house. These people were indeed people of education andk;.ew how to appreciate good schools, and ihey proposed to make the rightkind of a start. Accordingly a dug-out, fourteen feet square, was con-structed—a humble enoogh beginning, but inestimably better than nothingat all—and Miss Kate Badger, now Mrs. J. W. Holliday, was installed asteacher. This was in the summer of 1874. Here then we have the firstschool in Valley county. A few months later the county was districted forschool purposes.
