On October 13, 1884, G. W. Swafford and wife M. J. Swafford of Hill county, Texas donated and conveyed a plot of land to school trustees J. C. Vance, T. M. Nash, and P. W. Wheelis and their successors in office to be elected by the citizens of the community where the land is situated "for and in consideration of the love we have for the cause of education and the appreciation we have for the memory of the dead."
The deed records that the land was located in Limestone County about 13 miles NW from Groesbeck and being a part of the Dennis Dikes survey. A more particular description for the plot of land is described in the deed. (Limestone Co. Deed Records, Vol. V, p. 116.)
