History
in a Pecan Shell
Although the namesake of Huber has been forgotten, it received a post office
in the mid 1880s. The community had the three essential business for a town (gristmill,
sawmill and cotton gin) but the population was a mere 25 in the mid 1890s.
The post office closed its doors in 1905 but the people managed to support several
businesses throughout the following decades. About the only evidence of the community’s
early days is to be found in the headstones of the local cemetery. |
