History on
a Pinhead
Albert M. Tredway
was postmaster of this town which attempted to become a farming community
in the early 1900s. The post office was only open from 1906 through
1911. Somehow the town managed to live through the Great Depression
but when the 1940 Census was taken, only ten residents were present.
There were two stores in operation at that time, however Tredway started
disappearing from maps after that.
The town is included in Encyclopedia of Texas Ghost Towns by
Ed Bartholomew, 1982. |
