Those Places Thursday
Star Church 1955
The Bolger family, my wife's family, lived a mile to the north of this intersection, and a half mile west. She attended the school from kindergarten through seventh grade, then went to Coon Rapids Consolidated School. My family (Smith) lived a mile south and two miles to the east, across the county line in Greene County. I went to Coon Rapids school starting in the eighth grade. After we graduated from high school, a few years, this church closed and the members all went to Coon Rapids for church, as well.
For comparison, this is the original church, a few years earlier.
This physical location is a few miles north of Coon Rapid, Carroll County, Iowa.
Note: The Carrollton School and Store I wrote about a few weeks ago, was located just a few miles directly west of this location. ;-)
