Locust is a little-known ghost town by many people in Grayson County today. However, for the people of northwestern Grayson County, west of Pottsboro, Locust was one of those places that was small in size, but loomed large in the people’s hearts. It was “community” in the true sense of the word and everyone there, though not all related by blood, nevertheless considered each other family. People helped each other when work needed doing, or when tragedy struck or hard times were at hand. They socialized together, both young and old, because they liked each other, and truly cared for one another.
