History
in Pecan Shell
Not far from Adobe Walls, mail was routed
through that community when Jeffry’s post office closed in October 1918. The community
had a school built in 1906 named after the man (Ben Holt) who donated the land.
The enrollment was 57 in 1918 but only 7 by 1927.
A cemetery marked Holt
is shown on detailed county maps.
