We lived in Kirbyville Texas from 1952 to 1955.
Kirbyville Texas then had a population of 1444. Our family was the last four in that number. When we moved in the summer of 1955 the population fell to 1440.
Kirbyville Texas was a tiny East Texas town that if you blinked when you drove by you would miss it. It was a one horse hole in the wall kind of a place. Much like the town in The Last Picture Show.
