Hi,
Yes, I did receive the photo, but I have not had a chance to post it. My "edit" features for this site have not been working. I am in the middle of moving and can only get on the computer while at the historical society. I will get to these things as quickly as I am able. The technical difficulties will need to be reported to "citymax" as soon as I have time. I truly apologize for the delay on all of this.
Hang in there - I'll be back!
Denise

I contacted the Whiteside Regional Office of Education. They offered the following information regarding Union School:
Okay, Denise, here’s what I did find. Mina Loomis is listed as an ungraded school teacher in 1897 in Prophetstown Post Office district, but doesn’t say the name of a school. In 1899 she is listed at Lyndon school in the Graded Schools. There are some students listed in the 8th grade for S.E. Union school (there is also a SW Union School) in the years, 1899 Lillie Black is listed as not making passing 8th grade grades, in 1899 Lizzie Houch and Lillian Noon are listed as not making the passing grades from SE Union. Flora Murphy listed as graduate in 1901 SE Union, Lizzie Houch listed as non passing 1900
Then in 1904 Earl Noon is listed in Cloverdale School (non-passing) and Cloverdale is on our list. Cloverdale is located on Ralph McCreedy’s property which is South East of P’town and as near as I can tell sort of near the corner of routes 172 and 92. It is listed as district 78.
Mr. Steinert is here today and he said all the information is on this list, the big map and the ledger books. He wouldn’t know who to ask where the school was. I think either it is the Cloverdale School, or it was located in a house or something for a short time before Cloverdale. Morrison Library has some information, but not sure how much.
You should come and check it out sometime just for the fun of it!
Hope this was some help.

HI Lisa,
1988 is too late for our Tampico Tornado newspaper (stopped printing in 1966). It is indexed for the Sterling Gazette newspaper:
Osborne, Nellie Schieferdecker (Elijah) obituary 25 Feb 1988;A2;7
I can transcribe it on my next visit to the library or you can contact the Sterling Library and request a copy be sent to you (small fee).
