This school between Rushville and Gordon, Nebraska was where the 21 Ed Gottier children went to school. When they started school, they only spoke Swiss.District 31 Sheridan County Nebraska This is a photo from my grandmother Clara Gottier Drabbels personal collection. This shows her school, District #31 in Sheridan County Nebraska in 1905. She and her sisters Nellie (Feree) and Lydia (Fankhauser) are in the plain dresses in the front row. Mary and Lucy Schneider their relatives are in the aprons behind them. This is my grandmother's personal comment in her autobiography,"We walked to school except in very cold weather when our father would take us in a bobsled. We only spoke Swiss when we started school. We played anti over, hide and seek, pom pom pull away, drop the handkerchief, ring around the rosy and baseball. Our fox and geese track was well worn and we could play it any time of the year.
