Hi, I want to share with you that I have information on the Clark School District #157 Langdon Twp., Reno County. I have in my possession the original records from the forming of the school district in 1897 through the last year 1938. The books contain the notes of meetings, budget information, names of teachers and their salaries, students names and grades and also has a report at the end of the year what was taught, games they played and visitors to the classroom. I would be happy to do look ups for any one that might have had family members who attended this school. If possible please give me the years they would have attended. My husbands Great Grandfather William S. Clark was the person who donated the land and was the first "principal". Several of the Clark children attended this school and some where the teachers.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have only been in the northwest corner of Kansas on the way to Colorado!

It's spelled Burrton and is in Harvey County, Kansas, although just a fifteen minute drive from Hutchinson (west of Burrton), which is in Reno County. We live in newton, Harvey County, which is fifteen minutes to the east of Burrton. Our Harvey County Historical Society has loads of information about Burrton. Their website is: http://www.hchm.org and there is also Harvey County (Burrton) information here: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/harvey/index.html . Hope this helps you!
