    1. [KSJACKSO] Ray School House Burns
    2. Jim Laird
    3. The Mayetta Herald Jackson County Thursday March 27, 1918 School House Burns. The Ray school house was destroyed by fire last Wednesday evening. It seems that owning to a case of scarlet fever in the school, the board decided to have the room disinfected and in the process the building accidentally caught fire after everybody had gone home. When the fire was discovered it was too late to save any of the contents of the building. The teacher, Miss Esther FLYNN, also lost some of her belongings. The district has secured seasts and will use the Geo. Bohannan house for the remaining five weeks of school. The building and contents were partially covered by insurance.
