District 42 School

District 42 was organized in 1910 and believe school was still held there until 1955. Alice Myer came to teach there in 1926. She was the first Myer to come to Haigler. She married Carry Will (he was on the school board). My grandparents, James and Bertha Myer moved from Franklin, NE to the Will farm in 1930. Their younger children all attended District 42, including my mother Opal Myer, sisters Grace and Velma, and brother Gerald. Their teacher that year was their older sister, Evelyn Myer, (my aunt). The story is told of a terrible snowstorm that winter and they all had to spend the night in the school. ....The school itself might still be a part of what is now known as the Bush property?
