History
in a Pecan Shell
Sometime shortly after 1900, a town grew up around the schoolhouse.
The origin of the school’s name has been lost to history, but it had
to have been a colorful story.
During the Great Depression the town had the church, school, cemetery,
and a few houses.
The school merged with the Kerens school but the church and cemetery
remain.
The Long Prairie cemetery is the one closest to the former town –
shown on the detailed TxDoT Navarro County map. |
