FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, August 18, 1910 REUNION AT BURKS SCHOOL HOUSE SEPTEMBER 17 The old settlers and patrons of the Burks School in Union township, Ste. Genevieve county, have decided to hold their reunion on Saturday, the 17th day of September. This is one of the oldest and best known schools in that county, and many of the students as well as the teachers in that school have since become our best and foremost citizens in this section of the State, and many of them have made records for themselves in other States. They now once more wish to meet together and renew old acquaintances as well as to see and get in touch with the young folk who are now attendants and patrons of the school. All the students, teachers, patrons, as well as other friends, are invited to be present. The meeting will first be at the old school house site just south of the Henry Horn residence, and from thence they will march north one-fourth mile to the site of the school at the time it was destroyed by fire; and from thence they will adjourn to the present school building where a good old-fashioned lunch will be served, and old-time amusements and sports will be in order. Speeches will be made by Jasper N. Burks and others at the various school house sites. All of the teachers at this school are warned to be there ready with a speech, otherwise they will be treated to an old fashioned ducking. The meeting at the place first designated will be at 10:30. Don't fail to come, it will do you good.
