The below photo looks north along Church Street towards St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (on the right) and the school and rectory on the left. (Photo is courtesy of St Johns Church and the Winfield Historical Society).
This view has changed significantly today. The road is not paved we can see tire ruts in the foreground. Absent in this photo is the St John Catholic School. The new school that my mother Louise Eleanor Schlick Davis attended St John’s School. The new school structure would not be erected until 1940 and was dedicated in 1942 during the Church’s Golden Jubilee Anniversary.
