This is the inside and outside of a school booklet for the Masonville – Whitman District No 5 school for the school year 1886 - 1887. The original is owned by Graydon Stoddard of Melborne - Pearl Hess and Hobert Couse that are listed on the school list are his maternal grandparents. Graydon is my second cousin once removed and was gracious to allow me to scan in some of his family collection. Many of the students attending this school are first, second and etc. cousins. Pearl Hess and Hobert Couse are second cousins by way of their Whitman Great Grandparents. Nellie Couse was my great grandmother and her children attended this school also. --Courtesy of Louise Chen, June 24, 2008
