My great grandmother, Fanny Carson, lived just down the road from Lone Star. We still hold the Carson-Jones family reunion dinner on the second Sunday after Easter there in the Pine Grove Church Hall.

Anyone know how Lone Star got its name? I’ve never thought to ask, until an online friend asked me today.

Thank you so much for the replies ! I am 57 years old and remember my grandmothers’ house.All very pleasant memories.
I am trying to find people 77 years old and up that remember the Zeagler family.
John Corbitt and his wife Julia .
The children are Connie and Emily.Connie is the older one.
When my Mother was around 10 years old , one of her playmate’s told her that she had been adopted.Is there anyone that perhaps played with these little girls ?I wish to find Connie’s natural parents for awhile now.Maybe there are children that overheard the the grown – ups talking.
They had a horse and chickens and dogs.I guess everyone during those times had animals/pets .I hope that someone reads this that knows .Thanks Guys!

Is Lone Star for sale? Could it be purchased?

I too grew up in Lone Star and had a wonderful happy childhood. My grandfather, O.K. Zeagler, was postmaster and ran a general store. Going to the store, having a snack, roaming around the dark recesses of that building was a lot of fun for my sisters and me. With the death of my mother, we have not visited as much as previously but when we are there, we just have a great time!

I do remember Mr. Corbit. My family ran the post office and a general store. Two of the buildings down in Santee were bought from my mom, Mary Zeagler.
Lone Star was a huge part of our lives. My grandaddy O.K. Zeagler was post master and my father and mother help run the store.

Does anyone remember the Zeaglers’ . John Corbit and Julia were my grandparents.He was a mail carrier despite having only one leg and Julia stayed at home taking care of two daughters.I would love to hear more about them in their younger years. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your comment! Capturing the memories of our small SC towns like Lone Star is one of the main reasons we started this photo gallery.

I was born and raised in Lone Star in the 60s. It saddens me to see my litte country town empty, but my memories are very vivid. Thank you for taking the photos — they represent the happiest time of my life.
