A private school, called a select school, was organized in 1882 with a Board of Trustees including E. V. Filkins, Thomas J. Wood, George H. Reinhart, Charles E. Deitz, Peter S. Ball, and Edwin M. Shultes.
The select school was first located in a small building that had been built by Edward Vincent Filkins, Esq. as his law office. The teacher was his daughter Carrie Filkins.
This school was successfully operated in a room over Settle's Store at the close of the century.
