by Steve Sturtevant The Carrisbrook settlement was a small village that once existed two miles west of Stamford, Nebraska. A post office was established in 1873 with James Lumley as the first post master. He also ran a merchandise store to help the new settlers coming into the area. In 1887, the post office was discontinued and moved to the newly established town of Stamford. West of Carrisbrook a couple of miles was District #10 school. It was also called the Carrisbrook School. In the picture supplied is of A.V. Larson who was the teacher in 1910. At that time there were 38 students. Also there is a picture of some boys that attended the school. They look kind of ornery to me!! I had the privilege of attending a country school for a couple of years. We had to bring a sack lunch and use the out house when we needed to use the restroom. The pictures were supplied by Minie Mintzmeyer.
