WALNUT GROVE,
TX (PANOLA COUNTY)
"Walnut Grove,
off U.S. Highway 59 five miles northeast of Carthage
in northern Panola County,
was probably established after the Civil War. A school was in operation
by 1897, when it had an enrollment of thirty-two black students. In
the mid-1930s Walnut Grove had two schools, a store, and a number
of houses. During the 1940s the school was consolidated with Carthage
school. In the mid-1960s two churches, a cemetery, and a few scattered
houses still remained in the area. In the early 1990s Walnut Grove
was a dispersed rural community."
