HISTORY OF THE HUTTO TEXAS COMMUNITY
Prior to Hutto being settled, the first two stores in Williamson County were located on Brushy Creek in the Shiloh and Rice's Crossing communities, just southeast of present day Hutto. Many of Hutto's early settlers came from that area.
Historically, Hutto Texas was not really established until 1876 when the International & Great Northern Railroad passed through land owned by one James Emory Hutto and the fledgling town was named for him. The railroad officials designated the stop Hutto Station and the town of Hutto was born. James Hutto was born in Alabama on June 8, 1824, he came to Texas in 1847 and moved his family into Williamson County in 1855. It was in 1876 that Hutto sold fifty acres to the Texas Land Company of New York for a townsite and railroad right of way. Cheap prison labor was used to build the railroad tracks under the Texas prison lease system that was in effect at that time. Hutto had became a wealthy cattleman in Williamson County; however, in 1885 he left Hutto and moved to Waco and entered the hardware business. No direct descendants of the Hutto family live here today. A freed slave, Adam Orgain, was probably the first settler in the immediate vicinity and had homesteaded earlier on 1854. Indians still abounded in the area. Other early settlers in the area were the Carpenter, Davis, Evans, Farley, Goodwin, Highsmith, Johnson, Magle, Payne, Saul, Weight, Womack, and Wright families. Other people living in Hutto during the 1890s included the the Bub Arrnstrongs, the Dahlbergs, M.B. Kennedy, the Hugh Kimbro family, William McCutcheon, Green Randolph, J.B. Ross, and the Tisdales. Soon a great many more people, primarily Swedish and German immigrants came to this area to farm and ranch and begin new lives in America.
Later in Hutto history there were interesting enterprises such as the Good Luck Potato Chip Company, a funeral parlor, the Hutto Bottling Company, an outdoor theater, and a variety of both everyday and unusual businesses.
As the legend goes, Snuffy’s Bar and Grill was the site of the original drive through funeral parlor. Snuffy’s was a long time favorite for their live music, good drinks, home made food, ghost in the rafters, and the ceiling with bullet holes stuffed with dollar bills. Although Snuffy’s has been sold to Fat Thompson’s and upgrades were made to the building, the legend stays the same.
To the box:
From IH 35 take 79 East to Hutto. Fat Thompson's Bar you will find on the North side of the road. Park directly behind the bar. With your back to the back door of the bar look across the lot and look for the "V" tree against an old metal building. The coffin you seek is nestled against the metal building under leaves.
