In 1891 Byron L. Bohn of Wonewoc,  Wis. taught in the high room  with Willard DeBow in the intermediate  and Miss Adella Porter  of Blair in the primary room.
This year there were nine in the  graduating class.

This is an extensive article about Early School Days in Blair WI  in the article I also found this: seems hardware stores ran in the family:
Retiring from teaching, Mr.  Bohn conducted a hardware store  at Wonewoc until his death.(he retired in 1892
