George West lived in Brandon in the 1850's -1873?, worked for the railroad, published the Brandon Times, and then moved on to Escanaba with the C& NWRR
I recognized one photo right away as the original schoolhouse, but the other homes I do not know of. If anyone has a clue, please let me know. The original photos are in Escanaba MI, a city where George is considered one of the founders.

This is Union Prairie School, which was on the NW corner
of Hwy T and Hwy O, section 25, town of Metomen. Some of the old school
records are at the Brandon Public Library. In 1960 the school was sold at
auction and moved one farm to the south.
