About Lake Grove Community
Lake Grove Community was established in 1874 when Ben Goodrich and H. H. Boone donated four acres to the Methodist Episcopal Church for a church, school, and cemetery. By 1900 one hundred students attended the Lake Grove School, which served both religious and educational purposes. The cemetery, with graves dating to 1874, held the burial of a Civil War veteran.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Lake Grove Community
Grimes County law partners Ben Goodrich and H. H. Boone (Texas Attorney General 1876-78), donated four acres of land at this location to trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1874 for church, school, and cemetery use by the surrounding loosely-knit farm community of Lake Grove. The community promptly built a church structure that they used for religious and school purposes. 100 students attended the Lake Grove School in 1900. The still active Lake Grove Cemetery, with gravestones dating to 1874, contains the grave of a veteran of the American Civil War. Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5185008596
