Built at Harrison Soon;
Present Buil_din^;W^s
Erected iVi#&%?
Plans have been completed and
submitted by R> V. Gay, St. 'Johns
architect for a thirty-thousand dollar
school,unit to be constructed in Harrison,- '-,:'..
.TJu'g' plans have been accepted and
the /project approved by the Federal
W. P. A. office. The only action
necessary before the work can. be began
is the approval of the state W. P. A.
office which is expected very shortly. ■ •
The -plan as it is drawn represents
a one-half unit, the plan being to
construct with the idea of continuing
the remaining part in the near fut
ure. The specifications of the project call for a thirty-thousand dollar
project, tea thousand dollars or
which is to be furnished by the district and the other twenty thousand
is to come from W. P. A., funds,
Bonds for the ten thousand to be furnished by the district have already
been issued and are to be handled' by
the State Savings Bank of Harrison.
Altho the bond issue was not advertised for sale by bids according to
Supt. Charles E. Amble considerable
interests has been shown by various
bonding companies concerning the
issue.
The present school is known as
the Harrison Hayes Township Agricultural school. It is a consolidated
Unit accomodating one hundred
eleven in high school and one nun-
1 dred eighty nine in the Elenientary
School. The district includes all o-
Hayes and part of Greenwood and
Hatton townships.
The housing facilities include one
forty by silxty two story frame build*
• ing constructed in IS'81 and two improvised small buildings recently
built to care for surplus enrollment.
The plan as presented for addition-
-&l structure is to have 50-by 60 structure converge with the north west
corner of the community building
located adjoining the school and
extending west onto the present
School grounds.
J The community building is prim-
" arily a gymnasium with a stage at
the north end. Due to the fact that
'"it is situated in the slope of a hill
the'gym' floor at the north end is
above ground. Utilizing this factor
the designers plan to have the first
floor of lie addition" l,evel with the
gym. The first floor will include the
Home Economics Department adjoining the gymnasium, and four gradtf
rooms.1"' On. the second floor the
Science laboratories and at least one
.'high school class room will he located.
, "Two classrooms wll be built in the
.;> balcony space in the former com-
'■''muiiity building: It is anticipated
'that'.the small buildings now in use
will continue in service until the additional half of the unit is built.
It is. estimated that the new unii
house ^ninty grade children, and one
■ hundred ten high school students.

THREAD OF LIFE
SEVERED FOR MRS.
ZINSER DEC. 24
Deceased Was Pioneer of
Wise Township Coming
Here in 1894
The wheel turns and ever the
thread of life runs out. In the passing of Mrs. G. Zinser which occurred
Thursday, December 24th, the people of Wise Township and surrounding country lose from their midst
another pioneer spirit who has long
been identified with the growth ana
development of the community.
She suffered a stroke two years
ago from which she never regained
her old time spirit. Her faithful companion with 'whom she braved so
many hardships during their early
struggle in what was the wilds of
Michigan was ever by her side and
in her thoughts. She turned for .the
worse December 20th, 1936, and the
end came peacefully Christmas Eve.
The funeral was held from her
home Sunday afternoon, December
27th. The casket in which the deceased reposed was flanked by a profus
ion of flowprs and beautiful floral offerings.
As the children- and friends took a.
last look at the dear departed, tne
hands crossed over the still cold
breast, the pale eloquent face which
death had ennobled with a touch ol
effable peace, perhaps it was given
to some to realize that:
"Par away on the sea there are billows that never will break on the
beach,
And a voice may be heard In the sil
■ence
That never shall form into speech;
And we some times hear songs in the
valley,
Too lofty for language to reach."
Christinie Weimpheimer was born
in Wurtenburg, Germany, on March
24, 1859. 'She came to this country
in 1889. In 1894 she married Gottlub
Zinser. Prom this union were born
two girls and four boys, one boy
died in infancy.
She is survived by her husband,
Gottlub Zinser, Mrs. J, W. Dunlop, Fred,
WiU!fpjj?vand Irwin of Clare and Mrs.,
Myle|)£ Cunningham of Saginaw. She
also. Iejaj^s- to mourn their loss, .eight
grand cliildren and two brothers, one
in Germany and one Switzerland.
Mrs. Zinser and her husband started battling life's storms on the farm
in Wise Township in 1894 and the
story of their struggle and achievements need no repetition here as it is
familiar to all the older pioneers.
The deceased was ever an affectionate wifp and mother, kind and charitable to all.

THREAD OF LIFE SEVERED FOR MRS. ZINSER DEC. 24 Deceased Was Pioneer of Wise Township Coming Here in 1894 The wheel turns and ever the thread of life runs out. In the passing of Mrs. G. Zinser which occurred Thursday, December 24th, the people of Wise Township and surrounding country lose from their midst another pioneer spirit who has long been identified with the growth ana development of the community. She suffered a stroke two years ago from which she never regained her old time spirit. Her faithful companion with 'whom she braved so many hardships during their early struggle in what was the wilds of Michigan was ever by her side and in her thoughts. She turned for .the worse December 20th, 1936, and the end came peacefully Christmas Eve. The funeral was held from her home Sunday afternoon, December 27th. The casket in which the deceased reposed was flanked by a profus ion of flowprs and beautiful floral offerings. As the children- and friends took a. last look at the dear departed, tne hands crossed over the still cold breast, the pale eloquent face which death had ennobled with a touch ol effable peace, perhaps it was given to some to realize that: "Par away on the sea there are billows that never will break on the beach, And a voice may be heard In the sil ■ence That never shall form into speech; And we some times hear songs in the valley, Too lofty for language to reach." Christinie Weimpheimer was born in Wurtenburg, Germany, on March 24, 1859. 'She came to this country in 1889. In 1894 she married Gottlub Zinser. Prom this union were born two girls and four boys, one boy died in infancy. She is survived by her husband, Gottlub Zinser, Mrs. J, W. Dunlop, Fred, WiU!fpjj?vand Irwin of Clare and Mrs., Myle )£ Cunningham of Saginaw. She also. Iejaj^s- to mourn their loss, .eight grand cliildren and two brothers, one in Germany and one Switzerland. Mrs. Zinser and her husband started battling life's storms on the farm in Wise Township in 1894 and the story of their struggle and achievements need no repetition here as it is familiar to all the older pioneers. The deceased was ever an affectionate wifp and mother, kind and charitable to all. e sJiS t The Sentinel has recently shown pictures which were entered in the East 'Michigan Tourist Association "Picture 'Contest."
