History in
a Pecan Shell
Gone
from the county map by 1948, Okay was once mentioned in a book (One
the Edge of the Big Waxy) by famed Sociologist Oscar (Children
of Sanchez) Lewis.
Described as a "rural post office and school community near Killeen"
by the Handbook of Texas, Okay had a post office operating for a brief
three years (1896 to 1899). No population figures are available, but
the Okay School had thirty-four pupils taught by one teacher in 1903.
By the 1940s the school was closed. The only mention of an economy
was the brief statement that Okay "had two businesses in 1933." |
