History in
a Pecan Shell
Not far from Adobe
Walls, mail was routed through that community when Jeffry’s post
office closed in October 1918. The community had a school built in
1906 named after the man (Ben Holt) who donated the land. The enrollment
was 57 in 1918 but only 7 by 1927.
A cemetery marked Holt is shown on detailed county maps.
Delbert Trew’s article
on Ghost Towns of Hutchinson County contains mention of Jeffry. |
