My normal resources are not giving up a lot of information on the history of this town. 

I did find that it did have a school at one time as I have found references of teachers and the school fund in various newspapers, which go cold in 1912.

TO REORGANIZE.

T. C. Windous, Preston school trustee, is here for the purpose of conferring with the county commissioners and deputy supervisor of schools with view to reorganization of the districts in the White River section of the county. He is armed with a petition, signed by more than a hundred citizens, asking that the Lund, Preston and Stockville districts be abolished, which will be a preliminary step to their reorganization and fixing of their definite boundaries. The petition will be presented to the commissioners at their first meeting in April.
