HISTORY OF RICHARDSON CO, NE, 1917, p. 370: Like most of the school districts, district No. 77 was formed from surrounding districts, mostly from the one southwest, known as Fairview. There has been but one school house erected, the present one, which is thirty by twenty-two feet in dimensions and cost six hundred dollars. It was built in 1872. A new school house is needed now and will probably be built in the near future. The first school was taught by Miss Carrie Howe in a log house located on the northeast quarter of section 13. Other early teachers were T. L. Lewis, G. W. Crouch. B. P. Chute, A. C. Troop, Landon Yantiss, D. D. Houtz, Mary Jones, Emma Shouse, Linnie Frank, Cammie Hall, Lenora Cornell, B. B. Davis, L. L.

Van Wyner, Della Marion, Nettie Wills, Abbie and Susan Melvin, Linnie Frank, Hoke Simpson, Carrie and Lowell Leslie, Emerson Bowers and H. B. Kleeberger.
