The Grove

I want to thank Beatrice Lake for taking the time to take the picture below of what "The Grove" looks like today.

Anyone know the location of these homes, the only note on the picture is "The Grove"?
Comment sent to me from Beatrice Lake ..."The Grove" is the south end of John Street and the east end of High Street. I went down today and compared your picture with the street scene. Also, on page 97 fourth paragraph of the "Bicentennial Union City, 1976".

Hawley School

Does anyone know where the Hawley School was located? See comment below!

This is another photo from those sent to me by Stan Smith. The picture below has those in the photo on the reverse side of the photo, along with it noting this picture is of the students at Hawley School in the 1890's.

Update .....Using the 1900 census, I located several of the students listed above that were attending the Hawley School. The picture notes it was taken around 1890. The census records for the students pinpoints their locations as the SW corner of Union Townsip (see the area circled below). Does anyone know what the name of the country school located on Arbogast Road just south of Francisco Road in the 1950's? The first plat map is from around 1960, and the second is from 1894 noting the location of a school.
