Melfred Fretham retains the original photo. Rural School District No. 10. Rural schools, country schools, schoolhouses, Iosco schools, Palmer school. The Palmer school house was actually built way before the town of Palmer was even a thought. In 1862 a one acre piece of land was purchased from a local farmer. The school (school district 10) was built on this land. As Palmer evolved, in 1915 the school became part of the plat of the town. The school was in the Southwest corner of the plat. The school was active until public school started in 1960-1961. Information provided by Robert Hagen.Cataloged By
