History of Antelope County, 1868-1883, pp. 172-175 The Experiences of a School Teacher in Antelope County, in the Early Days. ....By C. D. Bon, of Oakdale In the fall of 1880 I engaged to teach the Bunker Hill school, district no. 10, for a term of three months at a wage of thirty dollars per month, which was considered a very good pay for country school teachers. The members of the school board were Turner Gardner, H. B. Thornton, and Orson Fields. There men were very pleasant to work with, and during the two terms I taught there we had no differences of any kind, and I became their debtor for many kindnesses shown me. They must have had a great deal of confidence in me as a teacher, for none of them visited the school during my two terms’ work for them. |
