History in a Pecan Shell

Needmore's entry in the Handbook of Texas is very brief. Their school was established in 1904, became an independent district in 1929, and was consolidated with the Meadow school in the 40s. By the late 1960s Needmore reported a population of only four persons.

The gin is still here.
