Brown's Point School, Grades 1, 2 and 3 with their teacher in April of 1934. Browns Point School was opened in a portable in 1918 with one teacher, Martha Floberg, teaching grades one through eight. The exact address is unknown, visitors were advised to take the steamer Veronica at the Municipal Dock in order to get to the school. After much controversy, the school was closed in 1938, with Browns Point residents holding a solemn funeral service in its honor. Students attended school in other areas until their new school was built in 1952. (Argentum) (Olsen: For the Record, p. 113)
