Live Oak School Celebrates Long Local Heritage
Leyendecker and Herman Lungkwitz, trustees, led a 1854 meeting at Wilhelm Reidel’s Bear Creek home to plan a schoolhouse. Contracts to Ludwig Schmidt and Peter Schandnn fixed costs, with a 40 cent property tax plus contributions funding the project. The first pupils included many local families, the 1854 building was torn down in 1926 for a newer facility, and a roster lists early teachers culminating with Ruth Kneese.
