History
in a Pecan Shell
Cotton farmer M. C. Clayton moved his ginning business here from Fannin
County in the early 1950s. He then opened a store for his employees
and a café for the farmers bringing their crops in. The Clayton Gin
became a favorite meeting place and the industrious (and evidently
fair-dealing) Mr. Clayton essentially built a community here.
A Baptist church was organized in the early 1960s and in the mid 1980s
the population reached 116 – a figure that has remained through the
2000 census. |
