esther tegtmeier memories - 2018
Esther Tegtmeier with Suzanne Lloyd, granddaughter of Harold Lloyd, 2016 at Harold Lloyd House Museum
|
Esther Tegtmeier of Burchard was at the old Burchard school (now Burchard Lodge) for a Harold Lloyd movie on the occasion of Lloyd’s 125th birthday.
The brick school was built in the 1930s, the date is on a corner stone. Esther thinks the high school closed in about 1959. She didn’t go here, but but she taught here for 26 years. She started in 1961 and taught until the school closed in 1987. The school is two stories and the grade school was on both floors throughout her time. The grouping of classes and their assigned rooms varied from year to year, depending on how many students there were in any one grade. When she began there were as many as 13 kindergartners, but the number dwindled over the years to virtually nothing. Esther went to Sunny Slope Country School in District 39, which was 2 miles north and two miles west of Burchard. Memories collected by Sharla Cerra, July 14, 2018 |

the 1957 burchard neighborhood name quilt
In 1957, lots of neighborhood ladies got together and made a quilt. There are 42 blocks. One says Burchard, 1957, and each of the others has a name. Some of the names have been figured out, others haven't.
The quilt has been preserved by the Ebeler family, and is now a treasured possession of Shirley Ebeler Hines, who was a young girl on the big occasion. Shirley's dad, Marvin, worked for the railroad and they were assigned to Burchard at the time. In 1958, they moved to Table Rock, where they would stay for six years before moving up the track to Elk Creek in 1964.
This is a view of the quilt when Shirley visited the museum in June 2018 with her father Marvin, sister Debbie, and brother Paul.
