Tecumseh School District #2, Callahan County: The
Tecumseh School at this site was opened about 1879 and closed in
1938 when it consolidated with the Oplin School.
Tecumseh was named for the Tecumseh range of mountains to the
south. Besides the school Tecumseh boasted of a large general
store( built in 1880, this store was one of the largest country
stores in Callahan county and did an enormous business), a post
office(1886) and the Newspaper Office of the Tecumseh Banner (1886)
edited by WE Guililand with the motto: “Tis neither birth,
nor wealth or state, but get-up and get that makes men
great”.
The land is now owned by the descendants of Roy Armor who bought
the Windham and Guililand properties.
