I have no connection to the Castner genealogy but I am
compiling a booklet about former rural and early school teachers once of Elk and several
nearby counties. According to a list of early Johnsonburg, Jones Twp. school teachers
James Castner was the Principal of the Rolfe School in 1911. He was single and lived as a
border at thehome of J.V. Bonnert whose son was a well-known educator in the same Twp
Apparently James Castner's tenure at the Rolfe school was brief. I would like to find
out about his education. Did
he graduate from the Normal School System; what was the year and the name of the school;
did he go on to earn
additional college credits and advance in his career as a teacher? Possibly a picture of
James Castner will turn up.
Any and all assistance will be greatly apprecited.
