District #14 School, Wayne, Nebraska about 1950. Corner E 21st & Centennial Road.
In 1882 John and Almeda Lake sold land for $25 to the School District #14 of Wayne, Nebraska. Here is the deed that was entered by Enoch Hunter, a Wayne pioneer.
The school house was very close to the family farm. It was demolished many years ago.
And in case you would be interested in teaching at this school, here is an 1896 teacher’s contract – $28 a month to teach, keep the school house in good repair and provide fuel.
For me the most important part – this is where my father, Frank Claycomb, started first grade in 1920. His teacher was Mrs. Barlow.
