In 1883 David L. and Annie R. Prather deeded an acre of land for $100 to Utica Township for a one-room school to be called Prather School. This school housed grades 1-8 and many in the community attended and obtained their education there. Some years, the school housed as many as 33 students. The school had 5 paned windows on each side, a belfry and bell and blackboards between each window and across the front of the room. A pot-bellied stove served as heat near the center of the room.
In spring of 1924, the school was closed and sold to "The Ladies Union Club" and used as a clubhouse[1]
