Early Dawson Valley Sunday School Pioneers and Teachers
In Dawson Valley County the first Sunday School formed in 1881 with Mrs. A. T. Boger hosting sessions in her home. Teacher Roger led a subscription school in a dugout, and early pupils included Cecil Storey and Lon Byars. The community later built a wooden meeting house, moved the school to Mrs. Roger’s home for a photo, and eventually merged with East View to form Bonrland Consolidated School, a three‑room modern facility with sewer connections under principal Jones.
