History in a Pecan
Shell
The town's beginning has been narrowed down to between 1900 and
1905 - the year the community built a school. Little is known about the town's
early years, WWI or the Great Depression, but after WWII the population was a
mere 15 people to support a school, store, gin, and a blacksmith. The school closed
sometime before 1970 and in the mid-70s the town consisted of the gin, store /
gas station and a grain elevator. The Lakeview Baptist Church was still active
in the 1980s. | |
