The Story of the Schooi - As heretofore stated the first school organized in Sioux county was while it was yet unorganized territory, and attached to Cheyenne county. Jo. Oberfelder was then county superintendent at Sidney. In eighteen eighty-three he came to Fort Robinson and organized district number one, just west of the fort. He brought along Miss Mary Delahunty from Lexington, who had been engaged to teach. There were few pupils in the school that did not have Indian blood in their veins. There were half-breeds and quarter-bloods, which with five white children, made forty-two of them. District number two in the unorganized Sioux county was farther east and in territory not included in the county when it adopted organization.

District number three was organized when Julia Shelton was superintendent of Cheyenne county, or on August fifth, eighteen eighty-six. This came within the county when organization was effected. Therefore number one and number three, which were near the old fort, are the two oldest districts in the county, and both antedate the county. Sioux county records give little history of number one, except that Jacob Klein was the director. Of number two. Win. A. Raum petitioned for its organization, the election was held at the residence of Win M. Pennington, and the officers elected were: F. McProcunier, moderator; J. B. Pequett, director, and Wm. M. ('daze, treasurer.
