This is a memoranda book of a teacher at schools in Benton and Pettis counties in Missouri.  Included are the names of students, attendance records, and other information for Fordney (Ben­ton), Prai­rie Grove (Pettis), and Pin Oak (Pettis) schools, 1871-1875.  There are also notes on per­sonal business by Bettie McGuire, 1876-1883.

 

Martin E. McGuire first taught at Fordney School in Benton County, but most of the entries in his memoranda book concern teaching at Prairie Grove School in Pettis County.  Along with the names of students and attendance records are a list of visitors to Prairie Grove and the schedules for “exhibitions.”  Also included in the volume are notes concerning Bettie McGuire, 1876-1883, who may have been Martin McGuire’s daughter.  Included are an agreement between Bettie McGuire and “patrons of Miller County,” and a list of household goods purchased by McGuire from G. H. Meng.  The last entry, 2 June 1883, is the notation: “At Home.  Bettie Northway, Claysville, Boone County, Mo.”
