HISTORY AND BOARD MINUTES OF THE FISCHER STORE SCHOOL.......... 31
    We feel very lucky to come in  possession if this

    development of a Comal County Community, and, al-
    lows us some insight into an educational endeavor
    which was taking place all over our country.  The
    German accent in these minutes is delightful.

    The record is here reproduced as accurately as
    possible under the circumstances.  We apologize
    for the errors.  More of this in a future issue.
MUSTER ROLL - 1894 - TEXAS VOLUNTEER GUARDS - COMAL RIFLES..... 41
