Maxwell, Nebraska

Maxwell Public School
Before this school there were other small schools, but this was the first big town school.
This school burned in 1910 or 1911.
While the new school was being built they met in churches and other places around town.

The New Maxwell Public School Built in 1912
Note the fire escape tube.

Here is Tom Yost, when he played Tom Thumb in "Tom Thumbs Wedding," a Chautauqua Show.
Tom Yost's mother, Nellie Snyder Yost, was a local historian and writer of western books.
Nellie also was a graduate of the Maxwell High School I believe from the class of 1921.
