Photo 113-KKNE-1

Comments

This was the North Virgil one-room country schoolhouse. The school was part of the old District 69 which operated into the late-1940s. The September 1, 1949 edition of the Dekalb Daily Chronicle reported that North Virgil students would be transported a few miles southeast to Lily Lake. Thus was the end of school for North Virgil. As with many country schools, former students would get together for annual reunions. The Daily Chronicle reported in September 1970 that the school had held its 48th annual school reunion.
