History on
a Pinhead
Lem
Thedford was an early settler who organized the area's first rural
school district. The International-Great Northern Railroad made the
town a stop on their line in 1874.
Thedford had 25 people in 1910. By 1966 Thedford consisted mainly
of the cemetery and a few residents who drove over several dirt roads. |
