Boarding Houses Served Students

Who knew that in 1907, the second year of Grove High School and still “horse and buggy days”, rural students lived in boarding houses? Mrs. Emma Diggs at 804 Dunlap provided housing and meals for 10 students and her four daughters. Grove principal Clovis Chappell ate some meals there and provided interesting evening conversation.
