LONE ELM District #45
SE1/4 NW1/4 of 8-14-21
Story told by Sterling MORROW who attended this school: “This one room schoolhouse was built in 1903. The lumber was hauled from Weatherford, OK. The community was far ahead of its time pertaining to the Equal Rights Amendment. If you will notice the school board members were all women from 1914 until it closed in 1923.”
In June 1923 Lone Elm united with three other schools and formed Union Center.
