PS. I just contacted the Beardsley School District and the Superintendent said that the correct spelling of Mr. Beardsley's first name is Louis.
Lewis Agustus Beardsley (1832-1886) donated an acre of land and helped build a one-room schoolhouse in May 1882. Mr. Beardsley was a former teacher and principal at Bakersfield School and served as Kern County Superintendent of Schools from 1874 to 1877. Following his county superintendence, he went into farming and later donated an acre of land to establish Beardsley School District. Beardsley School began with two teachers, Louis Beardsley and C. M. Chadwick, with an average daily attendance of 25 students.
