Monroe
Community School
There was a large bell in the belfry
of the old Monroe School. It rang
out over the valley, and unified the
entire Granger Community. Children
came from all directions to beat its
last clang. Some walked, others came
in white topped horse drawn wagons,
or buggies. Often several children
would be riding one horse. Sometimes
in the winter, it would be a sleigh.
After the old Monroe School was torn
down in 1924, the bell could not be found.
