Cummings, to build a small, one room school on the hill overlooking the river. Using
materials from the local lumber and single mills the carpenters had the building
ready for occupancy in May, complete with homemade benches and tables. The board hired
Miss Martha Bertram of Rogers City for a term of two months, May and June.
