Mary's Creek School
In 1906, the Wichita Valley Railroad built from Seymour to Abilene, establishing the town of Bomarton and consolidating settlement here. Mary's Creek School was one of 38 rural schools in Baylor County. Trustees organized the school in February 1908 and built a schoolhouse soon after. The original building was one room, with a second classroom added about 1926. Additional structures included boys' and girls' outhouses, a coal house, a cistern and a teacherage. The peak attendance for Mary's Creek School was 69 pupils in 1930-31. By 1948 area children attended Bomarton School, and through consolidation, Seymour was the only school district in the county by 1955. (2007)
