Site of Dozier Schoolhouse. In 1893, the men of the newly, settled Dozier Community built a one-room schoolhouse to serve the educational needs of the children of that town and the surrounding farming and ranching area. Seigniora Russell (Laune) served as the first school-teacher. The school building, also used for church and community activities, was moved within this vicinity three times before it was torn down and rebuilt in 1913. The rural school consolidated with Samnorwood in 1934, although an elementary school remained at Dozier until 1941. (1985) #4769
