BREED CENTRAL SCHOOL

(also known as Greibler's School House)

contributed by:Bill Fonferek

Here is a picture of the Breed Central School House.  It's located at what was Old Highway 32 and Fonferek Road (now Central and North Branch Road).  The structure is still standing and has been converted to a storage building.  Because we lived across the street, there was always a lot of kids playing there.  I was a little too young to be a part of the older kids activities.  My sister Mary attended school there.  We boarded a school teacher at our house by the name of Nellie Coleman.
