Fayburgh School
FAYBURGH COMMUNITY
SH78 and CR 624
Fayburg was located about halfway between Blue Ridge and Snow Hill near the present-day intersection of SH 78 and CR 624. The community was named for a daughter of Capt. W. H. Bristol.
The Fayburgh post office opened on March 4, 1884, with James G. Griffith as postmaster. Capt. William H. Bristol was postmaster in 1886. In 1893 the ‘h’ was dropped from the name and the community became known as Fayburg. The post office was discontinued on May 15, 1926.

Fayburg.
G. W. Vant Beavers is a young man and lives on the farm with his mother. She owns 100 acres which join the suburbs and is a valuable piece of property. We are pleased to enroll this splendid young man on the list of the Democrat-Gazette.
Miss Sarah Ann Davis was raised an orphan, her mother having died when she was only three years of age. In 1896 she was married to J. W. Montgomery and they have raised seven children. Her farm one mile East of town was in the very heart of the hail storm of last August and the cotton crop thereon practically wiped out. Mrs. Montgomery is anxious to learn something with reference to her father, Isaac Davis who came from Nebraska to Texas in 1879. Her mother was Sarah Ann Williard. Any one knowing anything about her father's people will confer a lasting favor by kindly writing to Mrs. Montgomery, Route 4, Blue Ridge. She was looking for a good county paper and especially for one that would stop at the expiration time paid for. We had it to offer and for only $1.72 send her the Democrat-Gazette and Dallas news. Thanks, Mrs. Montgomery.
G. W. Ellis was born in Virginia but while a young man moved to Tennessee, where in 1885, he was married to Miss Martha Jane Mau?. Three children and all have gone to their home. The last to answer the summons was Lens a grown young lady who fell asleep in Jesus the 13th day of last July. They own a small farm in the town and upon which they have lived for the last 22 years. Mr. Ellis has been our news gatherer at Fayburg for several years and Mrs. Ellis says the Democrat-Gazette is the best that comes to their home.
