from Maynard Young in an e-mail to me & Murray, July 25, 2003:
"Now what you wanted to know. Nixon Grove School was located just about under the road that now goes from the intersection of what I call Cox (or Cocke) Road with Dolly Nixon Road and Todd Road. Cox Road at that time ended and veered sharply right into what is now Todd Road. The construction of the extension of Cox Road on out to what is now SR85 obliterated the site of the school. The roads were all realigned and paved at that time, so the precise site is kinda lost in my mind. If you come down Bailey Road and go to the stop sign at "Cox (Cocke??) Cross Roads", turn left and go past Uncle Joe Nixon's homeplace."
