A memory and some history for Poynor. Milner's Grist Mill was located on (old, before it was routed with the bridge) Hwy 175 and 315. First pictures from Texas, A Picture Tour compiled by Lon Ti**le and published in 1986.
Second pictures and story from Melody of Poynor by Bennie R. Douglas Pickle, Copyright 1975. This story has several funny stories within it.

Of particular interest in this paper is the creation of F.M. 837. Many of you live on this road or use it regularly 🙂

I was looking up something in a 1954 paper. I started looking back and thought I'd start in 1952 and bring you some past news from our Frankston Citizen. So we'll start here January 18th, 1952. Watch out for Delores and Bettye Jean 😂
There's mention of the Lions Club. There has been a renewal of a local chapter of the Lions Club. Some members of the community talked to them when they were here and gave dues to begin. I do have some extra brochures and info here at the library I had them leave, if anyone would like to look into joining. Hopefully there will be some news of members, meetings and/or events.
