Bridge School Teacher Walter Grams in the late 1920s

Mr. Grams purchased a lot about 2/3 of a mile west of the school from William Carl Heiden. He built the small, one bedroom house at 8864 Dixon Road which later became the rental home of Ervin and Helen Heiden and was owned by Arthur and Mildred (Roggerman) Heiden in the late 1950s into 80s.

Later, Mr Grams went on to teach at the Ida Community Schools. The picture below appeared in the 1954 Ida High School Yearbook. BTW- Michigan State Normal College was the former name of Eastern Michigan University.
