Walnut Grove Rural School...

Rod, I have quite a bit of history of Walnut Grove School. My grandmother, Mary Barker, was the second teacher at the school, and my father, Fred Barker, born in 1909, attended Walnut Grove. The building burned in 1997. The school was in operation from 1895 till 1949. The Waynoka Historical Society owns the stage curtain from Walnut Grove, as well as a sign with "Walnut Grove" spelled with walnut halves. The Society also has a large wooden board with cattle brands from the community's cattlemen about fifty years ago. A two-part history was published several years ago. I would be happy to send you a copy.
