The boundries of this district, commonly known as the "Stolley District," as given in the official school records in 1873, were:

Commencing at the Northwest corner of Section One Township 11 North of Range 9 West, thence west two and one half miles thence west one half mile, thence south three-quarters of a mile, thence west one half mile, thence south one-fourth of a mile, thence west one and a quarter mile, thence south to Wood River, thence northeast along the north line of Wood River to the county line, thence north to the line of beginning.

This boundary discription, of course, was placed in the records after the formation of District Two and at a time when the county had twenty-seven districts, so does not include the original boundaries of District One.

The reports for the years 1871 and 1872 made to the county superintendent by C.L. Meves, director, discloses some facts concerning the status of the district at that early date. The attencance   in   1871   was

seventeen, with forty-one children in the district between the ages of five and twenty-one, and 215 days of school taught by qualified teachers. For 1872 the report showed twenty-one attending between ages of five and twenty-one out of forty-one children and one child under five admitted, and 308 days of school taught by Charles Rief, the teacher for both of these terms.

The financial problem presented then is displayed in the figures showing assessment, $550 for teacher, school house valued at $345.22 and $20 allowed for other purposes, given for 1871. The actual expenditures showed, teacher, $530, fuel $15, building school house, $326.22, other purposes, $10.

The families then living in the district who had children of school age, in 1871 (see list below). . . . In 1872 C. A. Meves [report] . . . came in, the total being forty-one for each year.
