Aberdeen Herald May 28, 1896
"The 7 year old son (Otto Kestner) of Antone Kistner met with a serious accident, last week, in chopping the forefinger of one hand entirely off and badly cutting the other."

 "Josie and Otto Kestner boarded in Humptulips and attended school there. For several years school alternated between the upper and the lower Quinault schools."

..."In 1902, a spring term, from February 3 to April 25, was held at the Olson school, with James Norman, the teacher. Then Homer Dunning taught the lower school from April 28th to May 20th. He was followed by Edith Lucile Horr of Aberdeen. Her term ran from July 28th to October 17th."...

Josie Kestner says:

"In 1903 there were three months of school at the lower building, and in 1904 four months. Mrs. Smith taught those two years, and batched in the Norwood house. In 1905 we had five months with Katie Knack of Queets as teacher. 1908 was the last year school was held there.

By the fall of 1909 a new building had been erected on a piece of land purchased from Louis Haas, Sr. The property now belongs to the Grange. With the opening of this building, both the upper and the lower schools were abandoned, and a nine month term inaugurated.

This same year, 1909, the Kestner school was built. Miss Eunice Bonham was the first teacher.

 Frank Howen taught there in 1916-17."
