ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Shirley Haidinger emailed 4/4/2010:
"Am quite sure that photos 66303 and 66304 are pictures of the school that I and my sisters attended in the 1940s-50. At that time the school was known as Tyler School. The school was located between Blue River and Boscobel at the intersection of County Hwys T & M - about 6 miles from each town (was torn down after the school closed). The church shown in image 66304 was no longer there at that time, but there was a cemetery on the hill behind the school."

Shirley Haidinger emailed 7/11/2017:
"[Located] in Watterstown Township and the address was Boscobel WI."
