Jeddo was granted a post office the year it was founded (1874).
By 1890 there was one store for the 20 residents and in 1892 two
schools reported a combined enrollement of 59 pupils. A mysterious
population spike occured when 560 residents were reported in 1896.
It may have been explained as an error except it reoccured in 1904
when 559 residents were reported. By 1914 it returned to a more
likely figure of 12. No record was kept until around 1933, when ten
Jeddoans were present for a headcount.
In 1919 a new school building was built and by 1930 their were
thirty students with two instructors. Jeddo's post office closed in
1927. The favored figure for the years 1939 to 1990 was a
population of 75.
The cache is placed in the road right of way across from the
entrance to Jeddo Cemetery. Inside the cemetery you will find two
markers from soldiers who fought with Sam Houston at San Jacinto
and are citizens of the republic of Texas. This is a quiet peaceful
place in the country.
You are looking for a Decon container on the road right of way.
There is NO need to cross fences or trespass on private property.
Sorry about the Greenbriar. I will cut it out on my first
maintenance trip. Cache is almost wheelchair accessible.
