History
in a Pecan Shell
Novice was settled in the first part of the
20th Century. There are two suggested origins of the name, one based on a family
named Navis and the other claiming that the new village was named because it was
a “novice.” Whichever case is true, the village only had a population of ten in
the 1930s. The proximity to Paris stopped
any growth and older maps show it as being dispersed with no center. Population
figures stopped in the 1950s. It remains on the detailed county map and the state
map. | |
