Herman Barnaby

Early Pioneer Farmer

Minnie was united in marriage to Herman Barnaby on Feb. 21, 1895. They came to the Winter community to make their home in 1899, moving onto a farm north of Winter in what was known as the Buckwheat school district.

 

BUCKWHEAT SCHOOL

The building was erected on the N. E. corner Sec. 30-39.5 during the summer of 1899. Only one term of school has been held in the school house and that was taught by Gertrude Jordan for two mouths during the spring of 1901.


The school house was not built by contract but was erected under the immediate supervision of school clerk, Alfred Raynor, and most of the carpenter work was done by W. H. Marquette. The school house was erected for the benefit of the families of Joseph Buckwheat (Joseph Sarrsin), Herman Barnaby, Joseph
Le Beouff, and Frank Branchau.

Vere N. Hyatt has been employed to teach this school during the fall of 1901.
