History
in a Pecan Shell
Texas' "other" Mesquite hasn't been overburdened with mistaken identity for
the Mesquite in Dallas County. The school pictured above came into being circa
1905 and closed in 1952.
The Handbook of Texas makes a rather
broad understatement when it states that "Mesquite is located in a relatively
isolated area apart from major highways." It may come as a surprise to many people
that Borden County has a second city. |
Mesquite,
Texas ForumDear
TE, In your information about Mesquite, the school didn't close until 1952. My
home place is across the road from the school and I went to school there through
1952 when they closed all the little schools in Borden County and we all went
to school in Gail. The last teachers
there were Mr. and Mrs. Bass. Can't remember his first name, but their sons names
were George and Roger. I have many fond memories of good times there. Some of
the kids that went to school there, still live in the community. Thanks very much.
