THRUMS – TARRYS

In 1908, a two-room school opened to serve pupils in the Thrums-Tarrys area. The school’s enrollment was 21 pupils. This old wooden structure was used until about 1947. During 1948 – 49, a new school was built at Tarrys. However, this school succumbed to fire. Several years went by before the school was rebuilt. The old Thrums two room school was hauled to the site of the burned building and was refurbished and served as a school for six years. In 1954, a new school was built at Tarrys and old school was demolished. This school was expanded in 1961 and 1967. The school was closed in 2003 and the building has been demolished.
