History
in a Pecan Shell
The Handbook of Texas doesn't show a listing
for New Corn Hill - but its presence can't be ignored.
The twin steeples
of the church are visible from the cemetery of (Old)
Corn Hill, although there is no direct road connecting the two.
Many
towns that split into "Old" and New," did so upon arrival of the railroad, but
in this case (Old) Corn Hill was mostly absorbed into Jarrell,
Texas. Evidently enough of the Corn Hill population wanted to retain the name
and moved eastward. |

historic Holy Trinity Catholic Church... more
