      "The 1884 tax list shows every section of Washington Township taxed. Some of the early settlers were: Nathan Pierce, Gottlob Pade, Sr., Jennie Hoffman (formerly Hummel), Robert Hill, Henry Young, Thomas Crompton, Arthur Chute, Frank Boyle, the Huntley family, Anna Russell, Ida and Laura Warren, Rosell Anderson, J. H. Darlington, and Hamlin Garland. The tax record shows J. H. Darlington owned only one quarter of land in the township. It was on this NE 1/4 of Section 36 that five men gathered in a shanty to organize McPherson County. The land description is noted in the first book of the McPherson County minutes.
      According to the 1884 tax records, personal property tax carried a higher levy than real estate. Hamlin Garland's land value was $575, taxed at $1.43; Thomas Crompton's land value was $650, taxes were $1.62; Gottlob Pade, Sr.'s personal property was valued at $170, taxed at $7.65; Arthur Chute's personal property valued at $245, taxed $9.80; and Henry Hoover's personal property valued at $700, taxed at $23.36.
      The first school in Washington Township was called the Chute School, later known as the Nelson School. It was located seven miles south of Leola, on the Wetonka corner. The second school, called the Crompton School was located about three miles east of the Chute School. Both schools were built in 1884. The third school, the Pierce School, was located 1 1/2 miles from the Nathan Pierce farm (five miles from Leola) and this school was started around 1910. It was later known as Washington No. 2.
