Lincoln Elementary School | |
- In 1911, a two room frame building was erected at Beal and Eighth Street, on property costing $1,000.
- It was named Lincoln School, after the 16th President- Abraham Lincoln.
- The School replaced the Evans School, which was
moved from the old Dodge site in 1884. Evans School was located in the
1300 block of Tenth Street.
- The two room building was built by Henry Falldorf and was completed in 90 days at a cost of $4,578.95.
- A two room addition was completed in 1913 and again in 1919.
- The second floor was added in 1920 and an auditorium with two classrooms completed the building in 1931.
- Mrs. Mae T. Clark served as principal from 1922
until her retirement was announced on March 2, 1964. This retirement
marked the conclusion of service and good works unmatched in tenure for
an administrator in one school for the district. During those years, a
"Mother's Club" was formed, later to become an organized P.T.A. Through
her 35 years at Lincoln.
- New building needed. Lincoln claims the site.
