History
Stewart, Agnes (1832-1905)
She was daughter of Eugene pioneer, John Stewart. In 1854, Springfield School District No. 19 was formed, and the first teacher, Agnes Stewart, was appointed. A small schoolhouse was built near the corner of South Seventh and B Streets, and although considered to be a “crude building,” the school served the community until the 1880s (Graham 1978a).
