The Schools of York were organized by 1880 into districts much as they were to remain, Jt. 4 (with Grant) was known as the Windfall School and served the southeastern part of the town, with 24 families being taxed. Jt. 3 was in the County Farm area and was known also as the Northrup School. There were 21 taxpayers in the York area in the district (1880). Jt. 2 was known as the Forman School and had the smallest area in the town. In 1884 the only taxpayers in York that were in the district were Wm. Anthony, S. Beach, Chester Cook, Chas. Pratt, Ed Turner, and A. Whalen.
No. 1 was known as the Palmer School and was the largest in early times. The log school was one of the earliest to be established. There were 31 taxpayers in 1884. This became the Lincoln School and was divided into two districts in 1907. The northern part became Pleasant View School. No. 2 (the Parrett School) became Oriole School in later times. There were 14 taxpayers in 1884. No. 3 was to become Merry Vale. There were 38 taxpayers in 1884. No. 4 was known as the Garbisch School and later as Romadka, the taxpayers in 1884 numbered only 12.

from the contributor:
The card was never mailed so I cannot help with identifications. I have also checked at the jail museum and for that time period we do not have any records which might have name to associate with it. It is from my personal collection. Steve Roberts
