History in
a Pinhead
There's not too
much known about Clarkson - other than a post office was in operation
between 1889 and 1906 and that the combined enrollment of their separate
schools amounted to 148 in 1903. The schools were absorbed by Cameron
ISD during the statewide consolidations of the early 50s. |

Enjoy your site very much. Was pleased to see the picture of the
church and school in Clarkson. Two sets of my great grandparents
were part of that church and community for many years. Ed Mitchell
who was one of the builders, was assisted by my grandfather, who
as a young boy helped carry shingles up for the roof. Thanks for
all your work. - Charlotte A. McKinney, June 18, 2005
