Historic Sites of Manitoba: Melba School No. 2039 (Municipality of Rhineland)
The Melba School District was established in April 1929 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE34-3-2W in what is now the Municipality of Rhineland. The district was dissolved in 1965 and its area became part of the Horndean School District and later the Rhineland School Division.
Among the teachers who worked at Carleton School were John K. Brandt (1922-1923), J. W. Driedger (Fall 1923), Jacob H. Janzen (Spring 1924), Bernhard P. Giesbrecht (Fall 1925), A. J. Dyck (Spring 1926), and Jacob Cornelius Winters (1955-1956).
