McEwen School. History of teachers by Brooks Hawley.
The attached photo is not in album vol. 6. It's in the McEwen town file, used here to show the school the following history is about.
Brooks Hawley note: School District No. 18, McEwen, first teacher was Ida Worley, sister of Bud Worley, in 1884, according to Molly Doane's notes. Roscoe Doane remembers Mr. Hoseason as teacher about 1894-96. Sumpter News, Mar. 19, 1897, mentions Mr. L. B. Baker "a very good teacher," 1896-97. Luther Yantis reports Mrs. Shock, his first teacher, 1899-1900. He also remembers Mr. Duffy, Miss Pitcairn, Miss Holman, large and fat, maybe not in that order. I am sure Theresa Harris, nee Angel, taught at McEwen and stayed at Yantis' house. That is all I get for the first 20 years.
