History on
a Pinhead
Former Texas Ranger
Felix Grundy Morris hung up his gunbelt and badge and retired here
after the Civil War. The community was granted a post office in 1886
and Morris served as one of the early postmasters, naming the community
after his middle name.
By the early 1890s Grundyville had a gin, followed by a second shortly
thereafter (1896). The post office closed its doors in 1918 and today
only the ruins of the Grundyville Baptist Church remain to make the
former town.
