.....This
may have been a joint district with Jefferson County. The Ox Yoke Ranch
had a sawmill, and there were several families living in the area.
.....Josephine
Marr (who identifies Sugar Creek as District 21 which is actually Horse
Creek) states that William and Silas Kendall were on the 1888 School
Board for this district. Silas Kendall purchased one quarter section
at the site of what is now Trumbull, about 3 miles south of Sugar Creek.
.....The
1887 Castle Rock Record Journal states that " The Kendalls and Haughts
have 20 children between them are organizing a school with comfortable
seats. Listed as attending include Alphonso, and Alma Haught, Mary and Nellie Kendall, and
Aley Burch.
.....The
Sugar Creek School may have been discontinued in 1929, with the students
being sent to Indian Park
(District 7) and Sylvia (District
21). The 1899 Tax List indicates that District 26 was Sugar Creek at
that time, though by 1902, the number appears to be assigned to Columbine
School on County Line Road in extreme southern Douglas County.
