(Click on the photo to enlarge it.)
District #4 School is the township of Holton, Marathon Co., WI which is very close to Dorchester. My grandmother's brother and sister are in the photo -- John Edward "Eddie" Schwermer and Selma "Sally" Schwermer. (My Grandmother was "Elsie" Schwermer Cowen.)
To date the photo, I can only offer that Eddie was born in 1894. He is 5th from the left. I am terrible at guessing ages of children! Maybe you are better at it...?
I think this school was located in the NE corner of section 8 of "Township 29 North Range 2 East" as shown on Plat maps.
