Lone Fir students sought

The owner of the historic Lone Fir one-room school is looking for former students of the school for an upcoming event.

The school is now on the site of Jennifer’s Auto Sales, which owns the building on Sprague Avenue and Progress Road and has been refurbishing it.

The 1894 building was originally in the Saltese Meadows. The auto dealership is planning an open house once the restoration of the school is complete and wants to have former students in attendance.

Anyone who once attended Lone Fir is asked to call Jennifer Johnson at 926-5393.
