| PALOUSE |
| By
Richard H. Shaw |
The Palouse School was built sometime
before 1918 by homesteaders. It was located on what is now the
Shaw Ranch one mile west of the old homestead..
The teacher he remembers is Grace
Oliver. Her daughter is Happy Blackstein's mother. Happy
Blackstein's mother married Tommie Bauler. Tommie's son lives in
Tucumcari. Nancy Fluhman's maiden name was Bauler.
Richard was 5 years old when he was at this school in 1923. He
remembers the first day when Tony &
Warner Fluhman came to school.
Tony was around 6 and Warner was 8. They could speak no English at
all - the first day they just listened to other kids. then they
went to school at Mills for one year.
Richard's family moved away for 3 years and he went to a school called
Independent and the teacher was Mrs. Pendleton (possibly Raymond
Pendleton's sister). Those he remembers attending the Palouse
School are: Wyman & Hazel Madole,
Nancy Bauler Fluhman,
Clara Fluhman, the Johnson's (Bob, Earl, John, Jim) plus Richard's
siblings: Albert, Robbie, Lucille, Mary, Jim.
