| Additional Information: | "Winnebago Indian School (Black River Falls and Neillsville): opened in Dec. 1878 in a log cabin seven miles northwest of Black River Falls. Rev. Jacob Stucki (1857-1930) became its head in 1885; it became a boarding school during World War One with about 20 students, but in 1921 it was moved to Neillsville when Stucki's son, Rev. Ben Stucki (1893-1961), became superintendent. As late as 1931 it had more than 100 students aged 5 to 15. It survived until after World War Two." |
