As a member of the Madison County Historical Commission, I have the privilege of writing a daily article for our Facebook page, titled “On this day, in Madison County History”. While researching Sunday’s article, I came across a lot of information about the history of the Madison County Hospital. Given the fact that this is a “hot topic” due to the upcoming Hospital District initiative on the November 2 ballot, I thought that folks might like to see where we’ve come from and where we are now. Most of this information was pulled from Volume I: The History of Madison County. Here is an excerpt from that article:

TxDOT’s contractor closed Jones-Butler at FM 2818 on Sunday night at 9 p.m. According to a TxDOT press release, the closure is to allow for waterline adjustments under the pavement. The road is planned to be reopened Friday, Oct 22.
