History on
a Pinhead
Another one of
Texas’ backward spellings (Saxet, Sacul,
et. al.), this name was formed by reversing the name of a local family.
It started as a flag stop on the railroad sometime before 1900. It
never developed a commercial district or even a school. Local children
attended classes at nearby Gafford’s Chapel. Although there were several
businesses, the town’s nearness to Sulphur
Springs dashed hopes of development. Its history, what little
there is, is to be found in the Hopkins
County archives.
It was dropped from maps years ago and was firmly a ghost by the late
1950s or early 60s. |
