On December 24, 1952 a petition was filed to detach a portion of Section 1 of the Milan township, DeKalb Illinois school district #425 and attach it to the Malta Community Consolidated School District. A hearing by the Lee County School Board was scheduled for April 6, 1953 as reported by the DeKalb County Express in their April 2, 1953 issue on page 2.
The 100 acre section would be approximately the size of the Lyle Anderson property based upon this 1947 Milan township plat map. The Browne school was in the southwest corner of Section 1 and would no longer be open as a rural schoolhouse after the 1952/1953 school term was finished in a couple of months.
