History in
a Pecan Shell
José Narciso Cavazos
was the owner of the original land grant. Descendants allowed Will
Harding and Lamar Gill (the name is an amalgam of theirs) to found
the town in 1921. By 1931 the community was a mere 25 residents and
never got too much higher.
By 1950 it was an estimated 40 people but has slowly declined to 15
in 2000. |
