Delhi District No. 7 (Gunn School) Records

The Gunn School records in this collection belonged to Hilda Menger (1901-1995). Menger and her siblings attended the Gunn School, her father George Menger was a Gunn School Board member, and the family farm was located just across Washington Road from the school. Following Miss Menger's passing, her estate went up for auction and the records were acquired by a local collector in 1996. In the 25 years since, the collection sat in two local collections before being contributed to the Holt-Delhi Historical Society archive in 2021. 

No records exist prior to 1874.
