Note:
"The tower and church (above) are at least 4 miles down the road from
the mapquest.com location of Walnut Grove. I searched and got directions
from Whitehouse, to Walnut Grove. The Church and Water tower are located
on North 756 / Paluxy Drive. Mapquest states taking a left on FM 756
from 344. The church and water tower are to the right on FM 756 from
344. If it is a different community, [the two are] only four miles
apart." - Lori Martin |
History in
a Pecan Shell
Walnut Grove did not appear on many early maps. It did appear on a
1936 map and showed a church, cemetery, sawmill and a few homes. The
Handbook of Texas suggests that "Children probably attended the nearby
Bullard
schools."
1973 maps show both the Walnut Grove Church (and cemetery) as well
as the Mount Carmel Church. Walnut Grove appears on the TXDoT Smith
County maps. |
