Clark's Chapel ~ ca 1879
Clark's Chapel is located on FM 713 about
six miles southeast of Lockhart. The community was founded on land owned by Wm.
Alexander Clark in 1879 following a camp meeting and the organization of a
Methodist Church that was first known as the Clarks Chapel Society. Dr. Ledford
established a post office and store that served the community until it closed in
1903. In 1886, a school was organized and continued until 1912 when it was
consolidated with Harmony Grove School.
