History
on a Pinhead
Gone from the county map by 1948, Okay was once
mentioned in a book (One the Edge of the Big Waxy) by famed Sociologist
Oscar (Children of Sanchez) Lewis.
Described as a "rural post office
and school community near Killeen" by the Handbook
of Texas, Okay had a post office operating for a brief three years (1896 to 1899).
No population figures are available, but the Okay School had thirty-four pupils
taught by one teacher in 1903. By the 1940s the school was closed. The only mention
of an economy was the brief statement that Okay "had two businesses in 1933." |
