LINN FLAT-TRAWICK
The coming of the T. & N. O. Railroad in 1903 spoiled one of the oldest towns in Nacogdoches county, resulting in the building of the village of Trawick two miles west of Linn Flat, the latter one of the oldest towns in the state.
History tells of a big barbecue and town-lot sale in Linn Flat in the year 1851 but the town today has dwindled to two stores with a half dozen homes left to dot the top of the prettiest plateau in East Texas.
Trawick, two miles away on the railroad, now has four or five flourishing business houses, including the general merchandise business of John Orum, the big store of J. R. Trawick, stores by W. J. Box and T. Y. Blackburn. A four-teacher school will be headed next session by Prof. J. Mansinger. Two congregations here are led by Rev. Murchison for the Methodists and Rev. Crouch for the Presbyterians.
Sam Watkins pioneer merchant at Linn Flat, is closing his business this year after 38 years in the village during which time has done the record total business of more than a million dollars. Latitude: 31.7897222222222, Longitude: -94.7316666666667
