An additional note received from Merle Harrison, {Meadow Prairie / Barich School 2716}, adds that "Rosefarm School is 4 miles directly south of the town of Herbert," and that Henry Penner was one of the students of Rosefarm.

When Merle Harrison returned to her farm near Rosefarm School, the above photos were submitted.

The first one is the only one with the flagpole showing on the north side of the school. This photo is taken on the south side of the school.
The second photo is from the north east corner of the school.
The third photo would have been the entrance on the east side.

The schoolhouse has been re-purposed, and the new owners, have planted coniferous trees to sort of frame the school yard area.

If you are into google earth, you could zoom in and see it topographically.

The location is four miles south, turn right to west, and it would be about a quarter of a mile down that road.

Enjoy,
Merle
