History in a Pecan Shell

The town of White Spur is not listed in the Handbook of Texas. Our knowledge of the town comes from an unidentified reader who asked what had become of White Spur?

The letter follows:
I went to school in the third grade at White Spur in 1937 or 1938. White spur was not too far east of El Paso on a main highway that had the railroad north of it. We lived [at] an intersection where another highway crossed the tracks. The White Spur School was west of where we lived. There was also a cotton gin a little further west. My sister has said that they had converted the school to a museum. There was also a Baptist church somewhere close to the school with the Reverand Brooks preaching. I also went to Lamar and Morehead [schools] in El Paso. - (Name lost, editor's apology)
