Grayson County marks 81st birthday with historical review
The Sherman Democrat recounts the 1846 creation of Grayson County, its naming for Col. Peter W. Grayson, and the early county seat at Sherman. It notes pioneers, the first commissioners, the 1875 fire near the pecan tree, and a civic effort to preserve logs and honor the county’s history.
