Viola Twp. Prairie Hall School Circa 1910

Above, circa 1910. Per the contributor, Prairie Hall school no longer exists, but was located at the corner west of the Hayes farm (now Dentlinger's). Directions from Coon Rapids: Take highway 141 south from town to 'Q' Street, turn West on Q for 3 miles, then South one mile, then West one mile to the location. The school was located on the Northeast corner of this intersection.

Middle row: Joe Clifford, Russel Ridgeway, Clifford Hayes ("You")

The contributor indicates, "I've had trouble reading these names, so I may certainly have misspelled some. I believe the teacher at this time was Maude Hayes, older sister to Clifford and Esther."
