My father, Franklin Lafayette King, (1907-1995) taught at both Mud Dig and SweatBox. Frank.

I once saw a note that Hunt county had the most small country schools of any county in Texas. All these schools were within a short walking distance of all those kids that could only walk to school. I live about 2 blocks from Charity Road in Commerce which goes by the place where the old school house used to be. There is a cistern that still sits where the old cistern was to the old school house. My parents attended two of the old schools; Malloy and Cross Timbers. One of my parents friends taught at Mud Dig and SweatBox and I had an Uncle that taught at one of two of the others. Some of the old schools stood until the 1950's and later but I don't know of any that still stand. Anyway ask me what time it is and I will sometimes tell you how to make a watch.
