That old sod house was used until 1896, when a new sod building was put up in the north edge of town near where the old stone building now stands. John Twiford taught in this building in 1903, and Laura Laycock taught one of the last terms of school in the old "Soddy." The stone building consisting of two rooms was erected in 1905.

Oshkosh school soon had outgrown its quarters. The eleven grades needed more room so a commodious brick building was erected in 1914, giving ample space to accommodate the school for some years to come.

M. Robison. Beulah Wilson, Edith Miles, Mrs. Harriet Hall and Fannie Matson.
