The front page of the DeKalb County Express announced the opening of school for district #425 on September 2, 1952. The opening included the 'rural attendance centers' (rural one room schoolhouses) Milan Center, Powers and the Browne school.
The Browne school is being taught by Urban Conrad Monson for the 1952/1953 school year. The book "Rural Schools Journeys: A Legacy of Learning, Histories of the One-room Schools in Dekalb County, Illinois" indicated the last year of Mr. Monson's teaching assignment at the Browne school was the 1951/1952 school term. Based upon the DeKalb County Express publication, Mr. Monson taught one more school year.
