History in a Pecan Shell

Settled in the late 1900s, the town was named after an early family. A cemetery was set aside early on and in the late 1880s a school was constructed which doubled as a church until one could be built.

The town had a post office for some time between the beginning of 1892 and the end of 1893. The school eventually merged with Hitson. The town was “a dispersed community” by 1940 and today all that’s left is the Afton cemetery.
