Message Board Post:
I was born and raised in Clover Valley [also known as Barclay], Lincoln county, Nevada. I
am the youngest of 7 Fred and Orpha Woods children that grew up there. My youngest
brother, Bruce, and I were the last of the Woods children that went to school there. Our
teacher was George Bowler. He and his wife, Nancy, brought 3 of their grandchildren out to
live with them for the last year that school was open. When my older sister graduated from
8th grade that pretty well made it impossible for the school to be open without these 3
grandchildren of George and Nancy Bowler. We moved during the winter time to Mesquite,
Nevada for school. I came back from Mesquite during the Spring of 1951 and finished out
that school year in Clover Valley and that was the last year school was taught there. the
Clover valley School building was built by Lyman Lafayette Woods who succeeded in settling
the Valley in the year 1869. the building was built in about the year 1898 and was used
for school !
[and at times, church] from that time until 1951.
