Apparently, the Love School closed in 1940 or 1941 and the people of the area were not happy about it, forcing a reopening.

"LOVE SCHOOL OPENED AGAIN
Re-opening of the Love school in Defiance township was revealed today by County Supt. Paul H. Underhill.
Mrs. Kathryn Davis Bindbeutel of route 6, Defiance, has been employed as teacher.
Opening of the Love school followed protests by parents of pupils in that area who refused to send their children to school during the first week.
Defiance township originally had eight schools, three on the west side of the Auglaize river and five on the east side. This number was cut to four, two on each side, by order of the state department of education. This resulted in more than 30 pupils being housed in each of the schools east of the river.
With the Love school again open, enrollment in the three schools east of the river is about 24 pupils each, Supt. Underhill said."
