History
in a Pecan Shell
Settled in the 1850s, nothing much happened in Edna
Hill for the first 50 years. According to the Handbook of Texas a
school was in operation in 1900, so at least the town's children were
educated while nothing continued to happen. No disasters occurred
and no crimes were committed which must have pleased the residents.
Even into the 1940s - nothing happened with such regularity that it
became the norm.
WWII came and
went - while Edna Hill still went about its quiet existence. The school
merged with Dublin's school district
in the late 40s and there was worry that things would now start happening
now that something had finally happened.
The worry was proved unjustified as Edna slipped back into the quiet
routine for which the town has now become famous. |
