Elm Grove (a.k.a. Goin) School No. 8Long Creek Township, Decatur County, Iowa |
|
| John A. Goin (1813-1900) of Long Creek Township was a
member of the school board and held the office of school director. "Biographical and Historical Record of Ringgold and Decatur Counties, Iowa." p. 685. 1887. As one country school after another closed during Iowa's dissolution of the rural school system, Elm Grove School No. 8 remained open. It was the last rural school in operation within Decatur County. The school, however, closed upon completion of the 1959-60 school year. |
