GRANT CENTER SCHOOL, No. 5

Grant Township

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
February 18, 1937

The Grant Center schoolhouse and contents were totally destroyed by fire last week, the cause of the fire being unknown. The blaze was discovered by Miss Edith WAHL, who lives across the road. Cecil CLOUSE, one of the directors, was the first to arrive on the scene, but nothing could be removed from the building. Grant Center was one of the best rural schools in the county, and the eight pupils were taught by Rita SHAY of Maloy. The pupils are being sent to their nearest school, with transportation provided by the school district.
